Does this sound like cheating to you!?!?!

You win one of two prizes:

a) dumbest post in history of 2+2
b) best troll post ever

I think it's (b).

I was dealt 55 in a home game where they burned cards and I didn't flop a set either, just like you.

That SAME DAY I was playing on Party Poker where the DON'T burn cards and this time I DID flop a set with 55.

So there you go. Proof positive. My home game is cheating and Party Poker is on the level.

Not exactly on topic, but somewhat related.

My biggest pet peeve when playing blackjack is when someone does something they're "not supposed to do," like standing on 8, etc.

Then the dealer somehow pulls 21 out of their ass and the table goes on and on how that person should have hit and they would have taken that nasty 7 away from the dealer.

I really hate when they berate bad players like that. Not only is it rude, but it's mathematically incorrect.

There's a very, very simply question to the question of "Why do we burn?"

It should be blatantly obvious to almost everyone here... I wonder why it's not. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Thank You,
Willie and Nate especially, the summarizations helped. Much appreciation for the time and explaination.

First of all, there are 3 cards burned (in Holdem and Omaha) not 2.

The concept is to prevent somebody from knowing the next card that will come into play. Yes, someone reading the backs of the cards still has information that other's don't, but it is far less efective information than knowing what is coming next.

Don't get caught up in worrying that the burn cards are potentially hurting you - the cards are still coming off the deck in a random order, unless you have a mechanic in the game.

If someone marked the cards, burning the card on top of the deck prevents them from knowing what the next card turned over will be.

Bingo.

Is one punctuation mark too many for a paragraph?
