Dealer fouled stub

[Nick C]

Spence,
What about the player that can't be beat because all the board cards are out and the cards are exposed before the final round of betting?
The original post, pre-flop, makes more sence for your argument. After the flop, turn, or river, I would rather rule no more betting. I honestly don't remember the last time I saw a dealer drop the deck stub during a deal but, I'm sure it's happened plenty of times.

Nick, I'm still more interested in protecting the right to bet than anything else. The only way that works is to reshuffle. If there is no betting then there is no poker being played.
