Champion of Poker

Hi,

Before anything, I would like to say first that I admire you so much for all the efforts you’ve done on this site and also for all the great, helpful information you’ve shared. And thanks as your site has been a great help to millions of poker enthusiasts.

Well, now, I would like to share with you why I am here. I would like to ask something about exposing turn card.

At a certain poker room, the turn card was disregarded and for the flop betting round the action was completed. Afterwards, the dealer burned a card and then turned it up. It would have been the river card actually.

Eventually, betting round started and right after the dealer shuffled the cards that were left which included the card that was exposed for the turn. And without burning a card, he then turned the river card.

In your own point of view, should the card exposed at the turn be the only card changed? And that such card still can come out on the river eventually?

What do you think? Any thoughts?

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks again and congrats for the site!

Stubblefield,

What you witnessed is one way to take care of a problem of exposing the turn early. The card at the turn is the only card that needed to be changed. And yes, there are times that this will result in the same card coming out on the river.

The above example is probably the fairest way to resolve an early turn card.
