Turn Card Out of Turn

Together with some close colleagues, I play home game of no limit holdem without a house dealer; quite surprising I guess.

Well, just the other day, a problem appeared. At some point, the table was down to four players, by which included me. There were three players then in the present hand. Flop came as expected and was A-4-K. Afterwards, small and big blind checked. A raise on the button came up then. Later on, there was another Ace right before the small and big blind could actually act the dealer.

Before the game ended, we have actually confessed that we would have folded as we had the crap you typically obtain in the blinds therefore we flipped our cards over and pretty sure the bettor had K.

Any comment about what happened?

Thanks!

Breckeridge,

What happens in this case pull back the turn and burn and turn a new turn. Then you take the old turn card, put it back in the deck, shuffle it, and then burn and turn the river.

On the River Card

Monday night I played poker with some friends. I remember we had a permanent dealer then and a certain hand by which two players were at. After the button was player 1 and then player 2 followed. Before the flop, both players were in. Eventually, player 1 checked and so player 2 placed a bet. Player 1 then called and afterwards turn came. Player 1 checked. Unfortunately, the dealer turned the river card unintentionally. Player 2 then placed a bet while player 1 called afterwards. At much later part, we argued as we don’t know what to do with the river card.

In your opinion, the original river could have been used up or else could have been just considered as a burned card?

Thanks and nice site!

Marek,

In this case, the river card is pulled back, put back into the deck, the deck shuffled, and a new river card dealt without burning since the burn already occurred.

Because of My Mistake

Hello,

I played a friendly game the other night. Eventually, the game came down to me and a close friend of mine. After the turn he went all in and so I called. Unfortunately, when I was dealing then, without intention, I forgot to burn a card. Good for me as I was able to realize my fault quickly. I then threw the following card.

After the turn, I won with the card however I believe he could have won if the other card remained. What do you think?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks!

Iredale,

It doesn’t matter. You must burn a card before each street. The fact that the card may have helped you doesn’t matter.
