dealer does all of the shuffling, a player selected
by the dealer cuts the cards when the shuffle has

As with the big-table games, practices vary, but a
common method of determining how many cards will be
dealt is to turn one card face up and burn a number
of cards equal to the value of that card. Then the

Football party, a baseline of sportsmanship is a requisite
for a good game. |
