format: dealer burns two cards after the flop...

Sorry, I misread the post. I thought it said two cards were burned before the flop.

Re: Dealer mess up
 

Off topic: From reading your story it seems this game may have lasted upto 3 hours or more? Is that normal for your 10 person tourneys?

Ive never been in a 10 man tourney for more than 65 minutes in person or online.

Re: Dealer mess up
 

The extra burn card should have been corrected, but wasn't. It sounds like it messed up the rest of your night and your play. Tough luck (no sarcasm meant).

I've been in several 10 man tourneys (live) that have lasted from 1 to 4 hours, nothing uncommon there.

Re: Dealer mess up
 

10 players in under 65 minutes?

Assuming you play 30 hands an hour, that's a bust just over every 3 hands.. wow.

I've played STTs on stars that lasted 180 hands and well over an hour

That's only level 8, too.

Re: Dealer mess up
 

most of our games run for about 2.5 hours or 3 max, but this one went to 4 due to a few new players "oh it's on me?" or babbling, etc.

so is there an official ruling on this? i tried to stop the game and correct it, but good ole dealer (guy eliminated early) purposely shuffled up the muck and burn piles together. sounds like everyone here is 50/50 on the re-deal. i doubt this will happen again, i'm just curious how it should have been handled.

[/ QUOTE ]

From Robert's rules of poker:

"Once action occurs, a misdeal can no longer be declared. The hand will be played to conclusion, 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. "

You should never refund money once people have started betting (esp when 2 or more people are all-in).

Re: Dealer mess up
 

i feel the need to once again mention that this hand should have stood as played. there is nothing to do, as it's not a misdeal. if you have house rules about burning, then you do something. if not, swallow it and move on. also, work on steam control. it'll save you money.

Re: Dealer mess up
 

Agree with you jojo.

I couldn't agree more. If a dealer irregularity occurs that does not favor one player over another, the deal should stand. At most, you might want to caution the dealer to follow house rules, or censure (or remove) him if he doeesn't, but altering the outcome of a fair random deal is contrary to common sense.
