Poker question

[Alpo]

Let's suppose you are sitting in a game, and draw a card. When the dealer tosses you the card, it flips over and is exposed to the game.

 

What is the correct procedure?

 

We've always played that it was up to the receiver as to whether or not he wanted that card.

 

Old John Wayne movie, Duke said the turned up card was dead, so that other guy didn't get three queens, and Duke's two pair won. He was prepared to shoot the man over it.

 

Was the script right , or am I?

[Grizzly Dave]

At my house it would be up to the receiver. Don't know what they'd do in Vegas besides replace the dealer.

According to this link the Duke was right.

Dealing

 

Various rules govern the dealing of the cards. Here are some common dealing anomalies you may run into at a poker table.

 

Flashed Cards

 

During a deal, it's common for the dealer to accidently flip one card over, or "flash" enough of its face for another player to see the face value of the card. In such a situation the dealer does the following:

 

The flashed card is turned faceup in front of the player it was supposed to be dealt to.

 

The dealer continues dealing as if nothing has gone awry, until all players (minus the one player with a flashed card) have their proper amount of cards.

 

The dealer then deals the player with the flashed card a new card from the top of the deck and announces to the whole table the value and suit of the card exposed.

 

This exposed card now becomes the first "burn card," and play continues as it normally would.

 

There can only be one flashed card per deal. If more than one card is exposed, the deal is considered a misdeal.

 

Any card that falls off the table due to the dealer's action is considered a flashed card, regardless of how many (if any) players have seen its value.

 

OR This....

 

MISDEALS

 

The following circumstances cause a misdeal, provided attention is called to the error before two players have acted on their hands. (If two players have acted in turn, the deal must be played to conclusion, as explained in rule #2)

The first or second card of the hand has been dealt faceup or exposed through dealer error.

Two or more cards have been exposed by the dealer.

Two or more boxed cards (improperly faced cards) are found.

Two or more extra cards have been dealt in the starting hands of a game.

An incorrect number of cards has been dealt to a player, except the top card may be dealt if it goes to the player in proper sequence.

Any card has been dealt out of the proper sequence (except an exposed card may be replaced by the burncard).

The button was out of position.

The first card was dealt to the wrong position.

Cards have been dealt to an empty seat or a player not entitled to a hand.

A player has been dealt out who is entitled to a hand. This player must be present at the table or have posted a blind or ante.

Once action begins, a misdeal cannot be called. The deal will be played, and no money will be returned to any player whose hand is fouled. In button games, action is considered to occur when two players after the blinds have acted on their hands. In stud games, action is considered to occur when two players after the forced bet have acted on their hands.

So, if I'm reading Rule #7, in the link Grizzly Dave gave, if I'm the first guy to draw, and take one, and the the dealer flips it over:

 

It sits there on the table, the draw passes to the guy on my left, goes on around until everyone has drawn, then the dealer FINALLY gives me my card.

 

That way, in case the deck was stacked so the guy to my left, who is drawing three, is supposed to get three aces, he gets all three of them. I don't get one.

 

Jim, the info you gave for for DEALING. This circumstance wasn't the deal - it was the DRAW.

It is important to note that "drawn" cards are "dealt" by the dealer, thus should be subject to the quoted rule.

Poker?

 

Keep a clean poker in the fire till an orange heat. In a tankard put a pint of good brown ale, a noggin of rich dark Jamaican rum and some brown sugar. Plunge the poker into the mix to heat it. Serve hot. Some orange bitters or orange peel makes a nice addition.
