Caribbean Stud Poker Ante Bet

Before any cards are dealt in a game of Caribbean Poker, you'll have to place your Ante bet in the designated area of the Caribbean Poker table layout. The most commonly found minimum betting amount for a Caribbean Poker Ante bet is $5, but higher and lower minimums are possible.

When the bets are settled after a round of Caribbean Stud, there are three possible payout's with regard to your Ante bet:

	If you Folded you lose your Ante bet.
	If the dealer doesn't qualify, you're paid even money (1 to 1) on your Ante bet.
	If the dealer does qualify, and you poker hand is ranking higher than the dealer's hand, you are also paid out even money on your Ante bet.

Tip: if the casino has a maximum payout on Call bets, you should not make your call bet larger than maximum payout divided by the payout (on one unit) on the Royal Flush. Your Ante bet should be half the amount of this wager.
