MISDEALS
Whenever a Texas holdem poker misdeal occurs there must be a new shuffle and cut. The same paradise dealer deals again. Should the same dealer make a second misdeal, the deal passes to the player to the dealer’s left.

MISDEALS - YES OR NO?
1, If one or more cards are exposed in cutting or reuniting the cut packets, there is a misdeal. 2. If the poker pack has not been offered to the proper player to cut and the betting has not started, there is a misdeal. 3. It the pack has not been cut and the betting has not started, there is a misdeal. 4. If one or more poker cards are observed face up in the pack and the betting has not started, there is a misdeal. 5. If the paradise dealer exposes his own or a player’s hole card while dealing it, or a card is found face up while dealing a player a hole card, there is a misdeal. 6. If a player exposes his hole card after it is dealt face down, it is not a misdeal. Nor can a player call for a face-down card to be his new hole card. He must face down the exposed card, and it continues to be his hole card. A player must protect his hole card at all times. 7. If an imperfect pack is found being used containing fewer cards than the standard pack or duplicate cards, the play must stop immediately on its discovery, and the players take out of the pot the money they put into it. If it is discovered after pot has been collected, the previous hands stand, and are legitimate. 8. If any player has been dealt out, or an extra hand has been dealt in, there is a misdeal. 9. If a player (or players) has been dealt too many or too few cards before the betting has started, there is a misdeaL 10. If the dealer has dealt a player a hole card out of turn and that player has looked at it, there is a misdeal.

PASSING THE DEAL
A Paradise dealer cannot pass his deal in his turn to deal in Poker games, unless incompetent to deal the cards.

DEAD HANDS -
If a Paradise poker player holds too few or too many cards during the betting interval or at the showdown, his hand is foul or dead. But should this be discovered after that player has collected the pot, it stands as a legitimate Poker hand.

ON BEING DEALT AN EXPOSED CARD
If a poker card is found face up in the pack and the betting has started, the Paradise player must take that card in his turn of play, except if it is the first card to be dealt of a new round. That card is immediately burned (put to the bottom of the pack, out of play), and after the betting has been completed on that round, the dealer must burn enough other cards from the top of the pack so that the total number of burned cards equals the active number of players in the casino Poker game.

DEALING IN MORE OR FEWER PLAYERS
- If a dealer deals a player out or deals an extra hand in, and it is discovered before the Poker players have looked at their hole cards, and if the error can be corrected so that each playgr receives his proper cards (by shifting a card from one player to another and placing the extra card or cards back on top of the pack or dealing one or more cards from the pack without any of the cards being exposed to any Paradise player) • there is not a misdeal.
