Hi guys,
i was at a live game last night, (as tournament directer i had to be there) however around 20 hands into the game during the deal a player at the other end of the tables card was shown as it went over a raised letter in the table (no one at fault). We where always told buy the company to re-deal, however one person said use it as a the first burn card.
I wanted to know everyones opinions on it as it my job to come to the best possible solution for the venue. Should i use it as the first burn, (knowing anyone who now has a 10 has knowledge of one less out) or re-deal the hand and play on.
Thanks guys,
Don
Also had a succsessful night last night may be a return to form, comming second of 22 in the main game, and won the side game (taking everyone but on person out) which had 7 players.

The Standard Rule here - such as any Rule in Poler is "Standard", but this one is almost universal - is that it becomes the first burn card. It is NOT a re-deal, except in certain exceptional & peculiar circumstances.
Casre should be taken to announce to the whole Table what has happened, make sure they SEE the Card, leave it face up until the deal is complete, then place it on top of the deck as the Burn.
Irrespective of the Result of the Poll you have put up, the solution I have Posted is the correct one.
The 5-5 argument does not hold much water I'm afraid - it's as much as an advantage as a disadvantage, & over time, it affects all players equally.
Not to be pedantic - but it's not my "advice", I'm simply stating what the Rules are.
By the way, debates like this happen every single day in Live Poker, it's shambolic, the way Live Poker is orgnised. Which is one of many reasons we began APAT, to help standardise Rules.
But note this sort of ambiguity NEVER happens Online.
He bust out shortly after and I went on to get paid, albeit only post bubble, but it made me feel a little better.
Unvbelievably, incredibly, unforgivably, no. Poker is HUGE, & yet we don't have consistent, universal, Rules. It's nothing short of a disgrace, & an embarrassment, to poker. Football, Rugby, Tennis, etc, are all rolling in money, & why? - because they have universal rules & a governing body, that's why.
Hence, as I said earlier, one of the founding aims of APAT was to work with the various bodies to resolve this. And we are coming along nicely, nice & quietly, under the radar.
It would be improper for me to promote APAT on this Forum, but I will say that it's entirely run by unpaid volunteers, who give their time for free, for the betterment of poker, especially the regular Players. (The Big Boys don't need help). So, my respect to all the APAT Team.
