Poker Dictionary – Dead Card

Dead or alive? If you thought this was applicable only for human beings then you’re wrong as it applies for cards also. Several cards can be used for playing in a deck, but there is one card that dealers will never deal to you. Yes, it’s the dead card. 

What is a dead card?

A card is considered dead if it cannot be dealt to any player. 

When is a card a dead card?

There are various circumstances under which a card is considered to be dead, either because it was exposed, either on purpose or by accident. Not only by this but cards become dead in a number of ways. 

• In any card game where players are dealt upcards, the cards dealt to all the other players are dead for you.
• A card is considered dead if the dealer accidentally exposes a card while dealing. In such cases, the dealer takes the card back and declares it as a burn card as any exposed card is known as a dead card. 
• If a particular player purposely exposes their card when on the table, then those cards are considered to be dead cards. 

You must ensure that as a grinder you should not get confused between dead card and card dead. The latter is a term used when a player has not received any playable cards for hours together. Lastly, a dead card has a massive impact on any player’s odds to win in a game. Such instances of dead cards are extremely rare, and while playing Hold’em, they become irrelevant because there are hardly any chances of seeing your opponents cards.
