Dealer exposes his own card

If a dealer exposes one of his own cards I am not sure of the proper action. If he exposes his first card and uses it for a burn card, that means he would be dealt 2 consecutive cards at the end of the deal. This does not seem right. If he exposes his second card he uses it for a burn and takes the next card he could be accused of cheating. Not sure what actions are right for these 2 different situations. :dontknow:

Any card that's exposed (if I remember correctly) should be shown to the entire table, and taken out of play. Then that card is replaced and the deal resumes as normal. There aren't any burn cards until the board cards are dealt, so I'm not sure exactly what you mean in regards to that.

Dealer here.

Cards are dealt one at a time, one to each player, starting with the small blind and going clockwise around the table. If a card is exposed, that card remains in front of the player and the dealer continues dealing cards as if that card wasn't exposed. When every player has two cards, the dealer will then give a third card to the player who has the exposed card. The dealer will then collect the exposed card, announce its rank and suit to the table, then put it on top of the deck. The exposed card will be the first burn card.

If the dealer exposes two cards while pitching the cards to the players or exposes either of the first two cards dealt out (the first card to the SB and BB), then it is a misdeal. The dealer will shuffle the deck and redeal the hand.

Interesting thing to note: after the flop, the dealer is not permitted to tell you what the exposed card was; violates the 1 player to a hand rule.

Ah, thanks for the mini lesson!

^ exactly this. In a self-dealt game, it makes no difference whether the dealer exposes their own card or someone else's.

I don't see how you could see this as cheating. That's why they cut the deck. The dealer still gets only 2 cards just like everyone else.

I wasn't looking at it from the perspective of a rotating dealer game. It is possible for the dealer to cheat in a manner of speaking but it depends on how they shuffle the deck.

If you use the riffle shuffle, you can peek at both bottom cards when you go to split the deck halves into both hands. If you table riffle, like you see in casinos you can peek at the bottom few cards before your last shuffle. With practice, no one will be able to catch the peek or suspect it even happened because you'll do it so quick.

Once you've got two or three cards memorized, cut the deck but cut it a bit past 50% of the deck, maybe around 60% (assuming 8 or 9 players. Go even deeper with fewer players). This will put the memorized cards slightly above the halfway point of the deck and if you cut the deck properly, should ensure that both memorized cards end up on the board or at the very least (if you didn't cut too deep), stay with the deck stub.

Now don't assume I advocate cheating; I am just stating how someone who is dealing can easily cheat IF THEY WANTED TO. At the very least, keep an eye out for when someone else is dealing. I'd even recommend someone else to cut the deck after the dealer has shuffled it.
