| question about a misdeal( or not) in a live tourney yesterday i was playing in a live tourney at the local casino yesterday when this happened. just curious as to thoughts on if this was the correct ruling on the part of the dealer...not a huge deal imo...just one hand, and one time. basically the dealer didnt deal to a guy who had chips, but was away from the table. a player asked if it was a misdeal, and the dealer said no, its not a misdeal, just a goof, and the hand continued. does this sound right? to my knowledge, when this has happened in the past, they did do a redeal. |

| Robert's Rules say you can call that a misdeal and restart the hand, but only if it's pointed out before two players have acted on their hand. In theory that includes folding, so if UTG and UTG+1 have already folded then the hand has to continue. Tenbob is right though, there are all sorts of house rules on this one depending on which casino you're in. |

| If the players remaining at the table should question the dealer before any action, then it should have been declared a misdeal. At the very least, the floor person should have been consulted before any further action occurred. If there was action by players, then I would guess it is a mute point and the hand should just be played out as it stands. There are so many variations of the general rules depending on the house, who would have the final say. |

| re: question about a misdeal( or not) in a live tourney yesterday poker How about if one of the cards fall face up off the table? Was at a tourney where they used that card as the burn card, because over 2 cards had been dealt already. Any comments on this one? |

| The way I have always seen it is if you get up and not at the table you are not dealt in unless you tell the dealer to put u in. The last time I played live a guy keep getting up, standing, talking to people behind him and such.(he was aways close the the table) The dealer warned him if he continued this he would not be dealt in if he was not seated when he stared dealing. I do play some live but not a great deal but I have never seen this called a misdeal. Simply he would be dealt the next hand. Oz-The rule you mention, does this apply when you are seated and not dealt? The op said the player was away from the table. I took it he was not dealt cause he was not seated but if he was seated then yes I can see this being a misdeal. |

| This sounds like a definate miss deal. The thingis, what if the person returns before the dealing is complete or before actions is on him. Example: I was in a casino tourney and coming back from break there were like 3 of the 9 of us that were at the table when dealing started. The dealer was real slow about dealing out and by the time he was done 7 people were seated. (needless to say i was a little anoyed with the slow deal) Now if he just simply skipped them they woulda been pissed, because when you have chips you get cards end of story. |

| Most places would technically call this a misdeal but as already stated rules vary in different places. That player did pay to play the tournament so he should be dealt all of his hands. The way I see it, everyone was dealt two random cards so as long as the player did not come back before it was his turn to act, given nobody else at the table had a problem with it, RUN IT! Quote:

(j) A player has been dealt out who is entitled to a hand. This player must be present at the table or have posted a blind or ante.We don't actually know if they'd posted a blind/ante or not, and apparently that makes a difference. And again, I strongly suspect this one will vary from room to room. The procedure we use, for example, is to deal a hand to the empty seat and then muck it if they're not back in time to act on it. We've got a much more laid back clientelle than casinos for the most part though, so it's as much an adaptation for them as anything. |

*On a side note, most of the time the dealers where I play will deal you in if they see you are on your way to your seat. But technically they are not supposed to unless you are in your seat. |

I was thinking this was a ring game when I posted. Now I see this was a tourney. Yes, in tourney play I've always seen them deal the empty seat then muck the cards If not back in time to act . Never seen them call it a misdeal though if they miss a empty seat. House rules most likey. |
