3.2. Players are required to post their blinds. When a player is absent from the table for any reason, their blind will be posted by the current dealer from the absent players stack and their hand will be dealt and folded. 3.3. The dead button rule applies. This means that whatever position had the small blind the previous hand will receive the button regardless of whether or not the player in that position is still at the table. 3.4. All bets and raises must be equal to or greater than the big blind for that hand. 3.5. When a player is absent, the dealer will always deal the absent player in. When the action gets to this player, that player’s hand will be mucked. 4.1. When a Player goes ALL-IN and the bet is called by one player, the remaining Player has the option to turn cards face up for the Showdown and continue the hand. 4.2. If two or more Players are eliminated on the same hand, the player with most chips at the start of the hand will finish in the higher position. 5.1. Exposing Dealt Cards. If the first card is dealt face up, this will be considered a misdeal and the same dealer will re-shuffle and re-deal. If any other card is dealt face up, it will be retrieved and used as the burn card, and the player will be dealt another card after all other players have been dealt theirs. If two cards are flipped up, it will be considered a misdeal.
5.2. If a dealer exposes a burn card, the card will remain face up and as the burn card, and play will continue. 5.3. If dealer exposes more than one card, and there is confusion as to which card is the actual board card (flop, turn, river) and which card is the burn card, then all cards in question will be placed back in the deck, reshuffled, re-cut, and then the dealer will continue where it was interrupted. 5.4. If the dealer exposes too many cards while showing a board card (flop, turn, river), the cards following the board card(s) will be placed back in the deck, re-shuffled, and re-cut, and play will continue. (i.e. during the turn, the river's burn card is exposed). 5.5. The dealer is responsible for placing the burn cards and muck cards in the muck pile. If at anytime a player’s hand is either accidentally or purposely thrown in the muck pile the cards are dead and cannot be played in that hand, unless it is clear which 2 cards were theirs. 5.6. No one can turn over any of the burn or muck cards at anytime during the hand. 5.7. There will be two decks on the table to speed up the dealing process.
