rule question

[PokerXanadu]

To recap:

If the first card dealt to either SB or BB is exposed, it is a misdeal.

Any other exposed card is replaced by the top card of the deck after the deal is complete.

If more than one card is exposed during the deal, it is a misdeal.

If the last card to be dealt, i.e., the button's second card, is exposed, sometimes it is a misdeal (rare these days) and sometimes it is replaced by the next card, depending on house rules.

In all cases where an exposed card is replaced, the exposed card is shown to the whole table and it becomes the burn card.

This should be the first card to the button, not the second. If you expose the second card to the button he is not in fact getting two consecutive cards.


And remember that a boxed card is not an exposed card and is treated differently. The boxed card is a slip of paper and should be immediately replaced you do not wait for the end of the deal to replace it (unless you have already dealt the next card and the player has looked at it or mixed it with his other card before yoiu realize that a card was boxed).
