Exposed Cards

It happens every now and then. You deal the cards to the players and one of the cards get exposed. When it happened in a game I was playing, they said it was up to the player who's card got exposed to keep it or redeal. Other games I was at they use that card as the burn card. What do you usually do when this happens?

T,

Everytime I have seen it happen it was used as the 1st burn card. I was thinking this was a poker rule but I could be wrong.

Well, in the casino where I play, the dealer announces to the table that it's been shown, then burns it. At a home though, we give the player the option of keeping it, trading it, or calling a miss-deal.

Always just made sure every player saw the value of the card and then it goes to the bottom of the deck, no option, no using it as a burn card, it just gets eliminated as a mistake. This happened to Vahedi not too long ago when he would've gotten a king and 2 kings flopped. He was fuming for a few minutes over that one.

For us it becomes the burn card. The player that was to get that card is skipped and then recieves what would have been the burn card as his second card.

This is what we do. If its traded in it becomes the burn card.

P.S. Juicee, you look better with dark hair.

At home we call it a miss deal, but proper etiquette, I believe, is to show the card to the entire table and replace the overturned card with the burn card.
