Default Re: Home game argument

The criticism is a little harsh, as I certainly have plenty of my own dopey drunken home games and understand how it goes.

But yeah, deck is reshuffled, but keep the burn aside and don't burn again for the flop. The reason is that the player yet to act shouldn't have information the others didn't. The deck is more or less random anyway, so reshuffling causes the least pain in a touchy situation. This is in Robert's Rules, I believe, which you should have on hand if you're not familiar with these kinds of decisions.

In the future, try to get in the habit of rapping the table before burning.

That wasn't meant to be harsh. I deal for a living and have made this mistake. We all make mistakes. I just don't like to see the blame go to the player when it rests with the dealer.
