In our home games the button has the honors of shuffling the cards, giving everyone a turn per orbit. After the designated dealer flaunted his shuffling expertise the deck is placed in front of the small blind who has the option of cutting the deck.

The cutting is accomplished by dividing the deck into two parts placed side by side. The dealer then takes the part removed (originally the top of the deck) and places the remaining cards on top of that. This is to ensure that no slight of hand trickery couldv'e arranged the cards to be dealt as the SB chose the top of the deck and not the dealer.

I hope that makes sense please ask if I should rephrase. I've always thought this was common practice but watching live tournaments I don't ever see this happening. I've never been privy to a croupier at the poker table so I would like to know.

1. Have you ever heard of this practice?
2. Can you ask the dealer if you may cut the deck in live poker? 
3. Do you think there is a place for this practice in online poker?
