I have run this kind of game, but I wouldn't really think of it as a home game. We were certain the deck was not rolled etc. I would say in the mid-late 90s we were more selective in hiring dealers than casinos are today. In these sorts of games when the deck is rolled it is most likely that the dealer is lazy or doesn't know any better. There is no real excuse for rolling the deck, I could spend 10 minutes with a delaer and teach tehm to never roll the deck again (if they were interested in improving). Over the years I have talked to quite a few people in poker management, some are adament about dealers following procedures, but some are unaware of why certain procedures exist.
