	Card game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shuffling should continue until the chance of a card remaining next to the one that was originally next to is small.
		This is done by dealer holding the pack, face-down, in one hand, and removing cards from the top of it with her other hand to distribute to the players, placing them face-down on the table in front of the players to whom they are dealt.
		When the deal is complete, all players pick up their cards and hold them in such a way that the faces can be seen by the holder of the cards but not the other players.

	Rules of Card Games: Crash and 6-, 7- and 9-card Brag
		Normally you arrange your 13 cards into four 3-card hands and discard the last card, but in some cases you be unable or unwilling to make as many as four valid hands from your 13 cards.
		A set of three cards which are not a run, flush or pair can also be played as a hand, and if all players play this, the highest card wins (if two or more people have the same highest card, the second highest card is compared, and if these are also equal, the third card).
		These players each discard a card and the discards along with the undealt cards of the bum deal hand can be taken by the player who called the bum deal and played as a hand.

	# :: Brag
		Cards must at never be shown to any player other than the person to whom they were dealt, unless the betting ends with a "see".
		Brag is seldom played with what Poker players know as table stakes (where players keep the money they are playing with on the table for everyone to see and cannot introduce extra money into the game except between hands and with the agreement of all the players).
		Sometimes, in a situation where three (or more) players are betting against each other and none of them is prepared to fold, if they all feel that the pot is getting too big, they may agree to a showdown in which all cards are exposed and the highest hand wins.

	CARDSHARK Online - marked cards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Completely marked cards have covert markings that enable you to determine the value and suit of the card -- the markings are encoded into the pattern on the card backs.
		For card games involving more than three cards per hand, the odds against being able to cheat rise exponentially by a factor of between 2 and 6 times each extra card included in a hand, depending on whether or not other players cards show the same markings.
		For example, a 27-fold degenerate deck (2 different markings, 27 cards of each marking) would be virtually impossible to read except by an impeccable 'card-counter' with perfect memorization, and then only towards the end of play in games where a hand or a series of hands (Bridge) continue through the entire deck before re-shuffling.
