Some morons want that turned up card to be the burn card before the flop also.

I dont really, I just read some rules online and played a few times in Vegas and try to keep it consistent. I'm no expert on casino etiquette

I gotta think others have had to deal with a claim like this. We were just messing around with 5 card draw at a party, not even playing for money. Guy claims that either (or both) a 4 card flush or 4 card straight beats a pair. I, of course, tell him it doesn't. But wait, he says he's played with older guys that have played in card clubs before, and they say it's true, so it must be, right!?

I can't remember the name of it, but there is a variation of 5 stud where 4 straits and 4 flushes beat 1 pair but not 2 and I definitely read about it in a poker book... I'm looking at my 20ish books now and can't for the life of me remember which one it's in.

Its either called Canadian Stud or Soko. Wiki Link

New one...

I get invited by a friend into a tournament, and there's another new guy. After the first two hands, he questions why we're not dealing right. Apparently, "every game he has ever played", the dealer burned the first card before giving players their cards.


Ummmm.....?

the other week i had a laugh at a NLHE tournament with some fish. at the turn the board shows a four straight flush. then out of nowhere, this guy groans and searches the muck for his hand. after the action is over, i say to him, wow, did you fold the straight flush? he says no, i folded a straight with an ace kicker.
