What Game is This?

Erick Lindgren
Erick Lindgren
Deuce-to-Seven Draw isn't a game you'll find spread in many places. It's little wonder then that some of the dealers -- who are doing their best and performing admirably -- are having the occasional problem dealing the game.

In a recent hand at Erick Lindgren's table, Huck Seed opened with a raise to 600 that was called by Greg Mueller, Lindgren and Tim Phan. Steve Zolotow, also at the table, pointed out that the dealer didn't burn before dealing Lindgren (first to act) his one draw card.

"You're supposed to burn, and call out how many cards each player takes as you deal them," said Zolotow. "One, Two, Pat, One" he pointed around the table at Lindgren, Phan, Seed and Mueller. Phan was a bit confused as to what was going on -- Lindgren tried to back up one of Phan's draw cards (after giving his own draw card, untouched, as the burn card). Neither Phan nor Lindgren was sure which card was the correct one that Lindgren should have received but both decided they didn't care.

After the draw, Lindgren bet 2,200, folding all other players. Zolotow went off in search of a floor person to request that the dealers be instructed as to proper drawing protocol for this game.
