Question..Has anyone ever experienced/witnessed a dealer "hyping" out, or "indexing" out the cards? This meaning when the dealer deals out the cards to a player or cadre of players, the dealer uses their left index finger to subtly hold the intended 'dealt out card'; however, the card below from the intended card is dealt out instead? One may reason that this intentional practice would'nt matter, but then why would they do it in the first place??
Its called dealing seconds. In theory the dealer flips the deck to check the top card to see if it helps or hurts the player. He does this when looking at his watch, shuffling chips in the tray, etc. If it hurts them they deal the top card. If it helps them they deal the second card. They can use this to have a strong up card most of the time which kills your win rate as well. I have never witnessed it at a table that I know of but a good dealer dealing seconds can do it right in front of you and you wouldn't know. Check youtube, there are some good ones out there.
