Re: Typical rule for dealer double-burn mistake?
Note that the method used in Robert's Rules is reasonable only if the cards are stuck together and it's completely certain what the order is. If this method is used a good floor must correct things in such a way that everyone understands that the card picked up from the flop is the correct card (note that this will be the card to the dealer's left if the dealer peals the deck and spreads in the standard "face down one at a time, turn over all three, then spread left to right" manner). That card would be placed face up on top the deck and used as the next burn.
A related problem you will see far more often is a four card flop. In this case the flop (and usually burn depending on the rulebook) must be picked up and re-shuffled because there is no sure-fire way to know if or what cards were stuck together when the flop was put down and spread.
Hope this helps.
