i hear this 1.5 deck 'canned' response all over (the country)...btw, happy 4th to all...try READING the regulations that are posted on the gaming board websites of the states you play in

this is from one such site:

The player or dealer making the cut shall place the cover card in the stack at least ten cards from the top or bottom of the stack. Once the cover card has been inserted, the dealer shall take all cards on top of the cover card and place them on the bottom of the stack. The dealer shall then insert the cover card in the stack at a position at least 1/4 of the way in from the bottom of the stack. The stack of cards shall then be inserted into the dealing shoe for commencement of play.

of course, the problem is that i would never actually challenge this rule as if tell the pit you actually read the gaming regulations THEY ARE CERTAIN TO REMEMBER YOU....something i avoid at all cost
