Re: what exactly is this \"deck roll\" i\'m hearing so much about?
[ QUOTE ]
I'm still a tad confused... holding the deck upside down?! So the bottom card is showing and you are dealing offthe bottom (formely the top) of the deck? It just seems stupid. Wouldn;t worry about this being used as a cheating technique anywhere, all people will know is that 1 card (the bottom card) won't get dealt, not a big enough gap in info to take your money unless they alreayd waaay outplay you.

It is hard to describe, but if I was there I could show you how the dealer can tae a peak at the cards coming off the top of the deck while it is upside down. There are many bad things that can happen to a player when the dealer rolls the deck. I was in Las Vegas for about a week, and every room I went to was vulnerable to both having a mechanic deal and having money stolen directly from the pot. In today's poker environment the players are not protected.
