HPI 2014: Orlando! - Page 19 - Home Poker Games

Yeah, those of you advocating that the UTG or BB player shuffles are madmen, and the world is going to hell in a handbasket if that madness continues.

I can't imagine what this did to the space-time continuum and the natural order of things in the greater Orlando area. Are dogs sleep with cats? Is it raining frogs and lizards?

Another hint: After the deck has been shuffled, we place it to our left with the cut card on top as a signal that the deck is ready to be cut. The absence of a cut card on top usually means that the person has not yet completed the shuffle.

We only use one cut card, because we feel it makes it less likely to get shuffled into a deck. The dealer pulls the CC off the bottom of the dealt deck, cuts the new deck over onto it, and then shuffles his deck.

Because of this, I think it is better for us to keep the next, shuffled deck to the right of the cutoff player. This gives the current dealer more room to operate, and reduces the chance he might pick up the wrong deck to complete the current hand. That has happened, but not in a long time.

I think shuffling posts in HP are like tipping posts in B&M. Inevitable and interminable.

Let's get this thread back on track with the question everyone wants to know. Did Breich really buy box wine? Or is he all talk?

I had more than enough beer to fill four boxes of wine.

I almost bought him a box when I picked up the kegs at Total Wine, but I didn't know what kind he preferred.

No lie, we were competing to see who could drink the most from the kegs, and while I'm not 100% sure, I think you won.

My plan to distract the masses from the UTG shuffle scandal has gone much better than anticipated.

Ah, there's nothing like a good scandal to get the blood flowing, not to mention the keyboards.

what is it with poker and the hottest damn place you can think of in July?

I nominate Anchorage, because Auckland is too far for most people to travel.

I very well could be somewhere other than Texas next year. Not overseas but not Texas either. We shall see.

But I think I'll have ten racks of red come next year, too.
