Rick,
What is your opinion on action being able to occur before the dealer has completed dealing. The messiest situations I have seen involve someone in late position speaking up as soon as their is a problem, but the players up front have already acted before the dealer is done dealing.

Usually the "action" is bullet fold, bullet fold, perhaps one more bullet fold, then the mistake is discovered. In this case it's pretty easy to rule it a misdeal without getting much flak from the players.

OTOH I've never seen (or perhaps my aging mind can't recall) a situation where there was real action, e.g., UTG raise, UTG+1 reraise, mistake discovered. In this case my opinion is that the hand should play (since the action is very substantial) and if possible (let's say a card is missing from the player who called attention to the mistake) he should get another card. But it may end up as a clusterfudge. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
