Default Re: Typical rule for dealer double-burn mistake?

This is a stupid rule.

No it isn't.

Mistakes happen, often they change the result of the hand. There is often more than one way to correct a mistake. What's important is not the specific way chosen, but that we have a rule in place before hand. That way, we limit the number of times that the floor or dealer has to use judgment in situations where one player will necessarily benefit and another will be harmed (no matter which way they decide).

So we have a Principle that applies here and in other similar situations -- if there's a mistake, we try to correct it so that the community cards actually played are the ones that would have been played absent the mistake (unless it's not feasible to do so).

The Rule flows from that Principal.
