Dead hand?

<< < (2/2)

Nick C:
Hello, Briankdk,

 Thanks for participating in the Forum.

 I understand that the hand was said to be protected, but I don't understand how any dealer would be able to complete that action and grab one card from the protected hand and muck it!

 Next, you said the card was mixed into the other 6 cards from the three players who folded...So, yes. it was mucked.

 The bottom line is: I would never go into the muck to retrieve a card unless it was properly exposed or tabled before it was mucked. That's it for me. The dealer screwed up, and the player should have protected his hand better.

Mathieu Perchoc:
Nick, I tend to agree with you that we should -almost- never retrieve cards in the muck.
I think the above ruling was fair and falls in that "almost" category.
I mean, why is rule number one there if we don't apply it sometimes ?
