I agree to a certain extent. I had a dealer drop a deck, while dealing stud and reconstructed the deck, finished the deal, but with no further betting. The situation in a flop game could have been handled in a similar fashion and might have been a better solution. The players that did not participate "pre- flop" should not be entitled to any part of the pot, however, I also feel that no further damage should be done to either of the remaining players. Let's face it, the player that looses the hand, is the one with the best argument. This may be stretching it, but, You may also turn over the players cards and based on their holding, come up with a percentage split! A player holding Jack Queen suited against pocket Queens might be happy to get their bet back. This might not be very practical, but, lets remember, this is a house game and it has been my experience that if the players are happy with the call, deal the next hand.

I will see if I saved my response to "the dropped deck" story, if I did I will forward it to you. I respect your opinion and I am interested in whether you agree with my suggestions.

The last comment I have from you is found at this post: http://casinosmack.com/blog/aiof-stands-for-all-in-or-fold-or-how-i-got-kicked-out-of-a-poker-game/ Seeing as how this is a casino blog, spammers tend to target here so perhaps the automatic spam catcher mistakenly erased your post? I personally never delete posts as long as they are respectful and contribute to the discussion. Your comments are always welcome here Nick. Hi Nick, I’m always interested in your opinions!

I would frequently enter a blog and always got a response from Casino Smack. I am really interested in your site because I have a direct interest in all of the subjects that you cover. I have been a certified poker dealer instructor for over 30 years and even though the economy is weak, there is still an interest in poker. I enjoy recieving your emails and look forward to any correspondence from you.
