Shuffle technique

Poker shuffling methods include staggered shuffling, passing shuffling and Indian shuffling.

1, staggered shuffling method. Open your left hand, and then lay the back of the card flat in front of your left hand. Put your right thumb on the left end of the card and your index finger on the back of the card. The other three fingers hold the whole card at the right end of the card. The thumb of the right hand separates about half of the cards in the whole deck, and the other three fingers loosen the bottom, so that the left and right hands each get half a deck of cards.

2. Pass the card. The thumb of the right hand and the other four fingers are stuck at both ends of the card. Press the thumb of the left hand on the right side of the card, hook about one third of the card, and put the other four fingers under the card. Then, the hands are separated to both sides, and the part of the card hooked by the left hand falls into the palm. Finally, put all the cards left in the right hand on the left hand. This completes the whole shuffling process.

3. Indian licensing method. Hold the card with the fingertip of the left hand, and hold the right ends of the lower two sides of the card with the thumb and middle finger of the right hand, and pull it out. Then relax the fingertip of the left hand and let the top half of the card fall into the palm of your hand. Then put the cards drawn by the right hand on the top of the left hand and hold them with the fingertips of the left hand. Draw some cards from the lower half or middle part of the current left hand card with your right hand.

Common shuffling skills:

1. Alternate shuffling method: The backs of the two decks are cross-washed, which can ensure that the front faces of the two decks are mixed more evenly.

2. Card-drawing and cross-shuffling method: divide a pile of cards into two parts, then alternately draw cards and put them down, and finally merge the two piles of cards and wash them.

3. Cross-shuffling method: divide a pile of cards into two parts, then draw out some cards in a pile, put them down alternately, and finally merge the two piles and wash them clean.

4. Group shuffling method: divide the pile of cards into several groups, then disrupt each group of cards, and finally merge and wash each group of cards.

5. Staggered shuffling method: Divide the card pile into two parts, cross them, and then insert one card into the middle of another card, which can make the card pile more random.

6. Anti-clockwise shuffling method: from the top of the stack, alternately place the cards on both sides one by one counterclockwise, and then merge the cards on both sides.

These skills can ensure the uniformity and randomness of shuffling, thus ensuring the fairness of the game. Different shuffling techniques are suitable for different types of poker games. Choosing the appropriate shuffling method according to different types of games can make the game more interesting, fair and just.
