 Cut (cards) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After a deck of cards is shuffled by the dealer, it is often given to a player other than the one who performed the shuffle for a procedure called a cut.
During informal card games, the dealer is typically not required to offer the cut, and even if offered, the designated player can decline the request.
The practice of cutting is primarily a method of reducing the likelihood of someone cheating by manipulating the order of cards to gain advantage.
