Default Re: Who Shuffles?

At my games we use two decks, one red one blue that way they don't get mixed up. The dealer shuffles the deck that they will deal, the person to their right cuts the deck, and the dealer deals. Meanwhile the person to the dealers left is shuffling the deck not in play, the theory is that it will be ready to deal as soon as the current hand is over. Using two decks really helps to keep the game moving along without much dead time.

Ditto. Also, the deck should be shuffled 7 times, stripped at least once. The 7 times thing is important -- I have seen guys shuffle two or three times because everyone is waiting for them, not enough.
