Poker rules quiz

Wow... so I got three wrong :'( lol good quiz thanks

just seen these...im pretty sure i got 6...im happy...cheers for goode quiz

LOL - I actually missed this post the first time around, only just did it now and I promise I didn't check the answers before I did it!

Just for a laugh I did the quiz twice: once off the top of my head and then again consulting Robert's Rules. I got 6/8 off the top of my head (made a mess of Q1 though I had a total "duh of course" moment after I read the rule, and I honestly had no idea about Q7) but got 8/8 after doing them with the rule book open. Which means I've actually learned a few things, so thanks Grossberger

The rules given for rectifying a holdem situation where the dealer has dealt the flop or another boardcard before all the betting action on a round are inferior, because the dealer is told to not burn a card on a redeal. Since the “no burn” rule is so common, there was no choice but to use it here. It would be better for poker if the rule were changed to always burning a card.

FWIW I actually like the "no burn" rule in the situation you've described in Q4 because it has the least possible effect on the outcome of the game. A card was burned before the turn was prematurely exposed, and that was the correct burn card. The procedure for rectifying the situation has the dealer burn another card and then deal what would've been the river card in place of the turn, so again the correct burn card has been used. There are now three burn cards on the table and they're all the same cards that would've been burned if no error had taken place. So I'm OK with there being no burn card for the river after the reshuffle.

I guess it's a different matter if there's a different situation where for some reason the wrong cards have been burned.

Thanks Oz I was wondering why I hadn't seen you post even after I had revealed the answers. Was wanting you to back me up on the correct rulings I'm gonna try to put a few of these types of quizzes up for people to try it's always nice knowing the rules for a couple different reasons. First so if a situation comes up you you know what should happen and not get all bent out of shape thinking they made a bad ruling and putting you on tilt. And it can make you some money especially question 5 that one cost me money in a casino.

Cool, look forward to it

One thing though, it's worth remembering that not even Robert's Rules is universal. Some casinos, card clubs and (especially) home games will have their own house rules that contradict some of what we've discussed here. So know the rules, but also know how the rules differ from the standard ones at your particular venue.

Yea I know this should really help the home games because how many do you honestly think know the actual rules and just make up rules, this way they can play more to what it should be and not some made up rules. And yes casinos can/will adjust their own rules but are pretty much close.
