Re: not burning cards in home tourney
I don't disagree with what you're saying, Richter. And as the stakes go up, the need to follow the rules more strictly, have custom chips, etc becomes very important. However, in most low-level, dice-chip home games, burning the card won't make a difference in the outcome. It is MUCH classier to do it right though.
(Then again, I think I'm the last person in the universe who likes to start a game with two new decks of cards, instead of using Kems or Copags forever)
I have always wondered, however, whether a cheat would get more information from knowing what his/her opps hole cards are (if the deck is marked) or from knowing what the next card to be played.
