Question

What is the best protocol for dealing?

Sam Hanson

Community Answer

Deal clockwise, starting at your left, and always deal yourself last. Shuffle the deck well, but don't spend more than a minute on it.

Yes. If the person doesn't want to cut, they put their palm down on the deck.

Question

Are the three cards issued face up and to all the players?

Community Answer

If you are playing Texas hold-em, they are laid down in the middle and turned over after everyone has better or folded. Players can use those and the next 2 laid from the dealer along with the 2 cards they were dealt to make the best possible 5 card poker hand.
