About: Burn card

An Entity of Type: company, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In card games, a burn card is a playing card dealt from the top of a deck, and discarded ("burned"), unused by the players. Burn cards are usually not shown to the players. Burning is most often performed in casinos to deter a form of cheating known as card marking. In poker, for example, the top card of the deck stub is burned at the beginning of each betting round, so that players who might have been able to read markings on that card during the previous round are less able to take advantage of that information. Knowledge of a burn card might be marginally useful, such as knowing there is one fewer Ace in the deck, but far less so than knowing it is about to be in play.

  • In card games, a burn card is a playing card dealt from the top of a deck, and discarded ("burned"), unused by the players. Burn cards are usually not shown to the players. Burning is most often performed in casinos to deter a form of cheating known as card marking. In poker, for example, the top card of the deck stub is burned at the beginning of each betting round, so that players who might have been able to read markings on that card during the previous round are less able to take advantage of that information. Knowledge of a burn card might be marginally useful, such as knowing there is one fewer Ace in the deck, but far less so than knowing it is about to be in play. Two other uses for burning are: to prevent second dealing and to provide extra cards for use when an irregularity of play occurs. Sometimes a misdealt card (such as one of the down cards in poker that has flashed during the deal) will be used as the burn card – in those cases, the card should be immediately placed face up on the deck after the deal is complete. When Texas hold 'em (as well as in Omaha hold 'em) is played in casinos (or other formal games where cheating is a concern), a card is burned before dealing the flop, turn, and river, for a maximum of 3 total burn cards.

  • Se denomina burn card a una modalidad de los juegos de naipes, en los que se reparten cartas en distintos momentos del juego, y por lo que antes de volver a repartir o mostrar en la mesa una nueva carta (o lote de cartas) se deseche o se "queme" ("burn") la primera de las cartas que debiera haber sido repartida. Al desecharla se deja en el montón de los descartes y el repartidor ("") o croupier debe impedir que nadie pueda ver esa carta desechada. De ahí que se le llame quemar ("burn"). El objetivo de este modo de proceder es impedir que alguien pueda observar alguna marca realizada en alguna mano anterior sobre el mazo de las cartas que queda depositado encima de la mesa hasta que se reparten o descubren nuevas cartas. Por ejemplo, en la modalidad de póquer Texas Hold'em se "quema" una carta antes del Flop, otra antes del y otra más antes del River. * Datos: Q4999551 (es)
