When Should I Fold When Playing Caribbean Stud Poker?

Because the dealer has to qualify with a specified type of hand to win, you should never fold unless you have less than one pair. If you fold you lose your initial bet anyway, and there is a good chance that a low hand can still win. It’s fairly common for the dealer hand to fail to qualify, so unless you’re staring down the barrel of something like a 6-high hand, stick around and hope for the best.
