Triple draw. Dealer is dealing the original 5 cards. One of the cards flashes/gets exposed. Does this get shuffled back into the deck now, or do we wait until we're out of original cards and are re-shuffling. Does the rule change if it happens during a draw?
I think this first one is pretty easy - it shouldn't be shuffled back into the deck, it should be used as the burn card, just as an exposed card is treated in the initial deal in holdem.
Eventually it would be shuffled back in if you run out of cards.
Some old lowball rules say that the player keeps the exposed card if it is a wheel card, but that generally isn't followed in casino games anymore.
It should never happen during a draw, because the cards are supposed to be slid across the table gently to each player, not pitched like in the initial deal.
So I don't remember every seeing this happen in a casino, but I would imagine it should also be treated as the next burn card, and again shuffled back in if there is a reshuffle.
I wouldn't call myself an expert on these procedures, but I have played a pretty good amount of triple draw games in casinos and a little bit in home games. I've played very little Drawmaha, as I hate the game, so I can't really help you with that.
