This question Is evidently asked under the i'm

that the deal has been completed and also that the
edversares have looked at their cards- But tho

y. Poker: H: ~ say,: The dealer has helped Al
While he i sSqn IN 81. hand g discard ns asked
no too late to get another card,
No. Any other player could amend lis dT.w
under the same circumstances, and tho dealer
can unless his word has mised player into making
n bet whiCh Ia would N had eha dahl
said three. For this reason It il usual to let the
dealer amend his statement under such circum-
stances only when no bet has been made after he
has answered.
B. F. s. says: In quarter limit game. the blind
puts up quarter. saying Twenty -nve nat" On
The other. object saying he csnno. DO 80. Ds as he
said II was nat.
The age can raise the ante In hi, proper turn.
His putting up the quarter was only putting In
the blind and making good his ante at the Same
time. and he can raise II. Just as sny other player
could have raised him.
F. B. II. says: In tho draw. . players card "a
faced. What happensi
The dealer helps all the others and then replaces
the faced card.
Again: After the draw, A nnds. before lifting
bis cards. that he has four only Is his hand
That depends whether he asked for too few
cards. or the dealer gave him too few. II he did
not ask for enough cards 70 make up for his dis
card. and the mex. player has been helped. his
hand Is dead
c. A. @. says: According 10 Hoyle's rules must
tho opener Of Jackpot show more than openers
II he Is not called after the draw?
Hoyle made no rules for poker. the game not
being known until about nfty years after his death.
The modern laws Of poker say that the opener
need not show more than openers after the draw
II no Is not called.
]. c. Z. says: After having given nve cards
TO each player the dealer gives sixth to the nrst
man on his left. who calls attention TO II. saying
II have FIVE" Is this a mlsdeal!
No. II only one player has received an extra
card. and he has not looked at any OF his cards,
the supcrnuous card can be replaced on the pack.
p. J.C. says; The last man 70 get cards nnds.
before lifting them. that he has four only. Is II
misdeal7
No. The dealer can give him an extra card.
NC. r. says: Can the opener split his pair with
out saying that he Is about 10 do sor
The rule now generally adopted Is that the opener
of Jack pot shall always place his discard under
the chips In the pool. whether he splits or not, and
that II he splits. which he is allowed to do the dis
card will show for itself that he had openers. so
thot he need not say anything about II until his
