Cutting Cards - Poker (gambling)


Participate in a quick method of determining the player to first deal when a game starts, or apportion odd chips at the end of a private game. Each player takes a portion of the deck, similar to the way a cutter cuts the deck, and then turns up his section so that its bottom card is exposed; the player who cuts either the highest or, by agreement, the lowest, card wins.
