Message: [QUOTE="tearedtotears, post: 1478106, member: 68011"] Actually you never could count cards in Poker, 'cause the deck is shuffled every hand. The idea behind burning cards is that you should not see the backside of the card which comes next. For example: You had a 3 some rounds ago and realized that on the backside there was a little scratch in a corner.. There are no burn cards and you're holding two threes... you see on the top of the deck there is the three, so it will be on the flop and you can bet a whole lot postflop.. really ugly for the opponent if he holds like AA.. You never know who in the game knows some damages of the deck, so burning cards makes a lot of sense to me (lol on the guys who burn a card and then deal the flop face down before the 1st betting round is over... pure irony :D :D ) [/QUOTE]
