This absence of player vs. player action – or PVP for the video gamers out there. Means that Caribbean Stud Poker is not considered a ‘true’ poker game by purists. 

All players at the Caribbean Stud Poker table go through the same process when playing. Note that, unlike Hold’em styles of poker. There are no Community cards at all. The cards you’re dealt at the outset are your only hope of beating the dealer.
