Caribbean Advanced Poker Online – Dealer Has 2 Cards Face Up

Caribbean Advance Poker will not be a big surprise for players who know the rules of Caribbean Stud Poker, as the game is practically the same as this the simplest version of poker. However, there is one major difference: while only one dealer’s card is dealt face up in Caribbean Stud Poker, players of Caribbean Advance Poker have the advantage of seeing two dealer’s cards.

Moreover, unlike the majority of other poker variants in which features that give advantages to a player are compensated by features that give benefits to a house, Caribbean Advanced Poker does not have such a compensational mechanism.

How to Play Caribbean Advanced Poker?

The way this variant of poker is played does not differ much from any other poker version, and the steps that should be taken are:

• To place an Ante wager. It is also possible to place a side (bonus) bet.
• Players and a dealer get five cards each. All cards, except for the dealer’s two cards, are dealt face down.
• After that, a player has two options: either fold or raise.
• If a player folds, the round is over, and the Ante and side bets are taken by the house.
• If a player chooses to raise, he or she doubles the Ante bet.
• After that, a dealer opens three more cards. It is necessary for him or her to have at least Ace and King or better to qualify.
• If a dealer does not qualify, a player receives a payout that equals the Ante bet.
• If a dealer qualifies and loses, a player gets both Ante and Raise value.
• If a dealer qualifies and wins, a player loses both Ante and Raise bets. A dealer needs to have a stronger hand than a player’s one to win.
• In case of a tie, both Ante and Raise are pushed.
