    Classic problems that I can't just pass over (pun intended )

    I did not know that. Why so many names for the same move?

    Classic problems that I can't just pass over (pun intended )

    Well, now I feel stupid; what is the classic pass? Is it just the standard Herman/invissible/two handed shift? If so, go with "The Bible".

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    Of course, a small brief is not the most important thing, but the two arguments that was put forth in my OP makes little sense to me. You cannot cover the deck from all sides by necktying it an acceptable amount, and for most people, I think, thumb fatigue isn't an issue when dealing seconds in...

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    I fully agree with this statement. P.S. I do use a borderless deck, but in a game you rarely get the choice of which deck is used. I remedy this by practicing a minimal brief, and consistant dealing, with a slight "swing" of the deck. And a bit of tilting/necktying

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    I was starting to doubt my statenents, so I set up my camera, unfortunately, I don't have the right equipment to set it up the right way, but I sat it on the table on a pile of books, and my hands just barely covers the deck, when tilting it upwards. This is still enough for me to stand firm...

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    A person sitting right next to you on the left side could very well see the top card when you deal in any way acceptable at the card table. (I have). You are correct when you mention the motion of the hands, that is a good cover.

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    If only.... Sir, if someone is sitting directly to the left and right of you, there is no way you can cover the deck from their eyes with your hands when dealing in an acceptable way.

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    First off: Let us not forget that when a man stops caring about listening to an other persons arguments, he has become an enemy to himself. Anyway, more on the point: Let me explain why I don't like the Idea of necktying: Have you, ever sat down at a card table, with more than three players...

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    I know perfectly well what necktying is, but I have a problem with the statement that no one can ser the top card when you do it.

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    Thank you for the reply, I believe we are one the same page on this issue. Then we have the problem of necktying: I don't believe in people who say they necktie in a game so that no one can see the top card, do you?

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    The fatigue wouldn't affect the standard deal, as it is not as fine of a movement. The second deal, on the other hand might be affected by some fatigue, because it's a much more precise movement. The question is then: Can you get thumb fatigue that affects your second deal by dealing a large...

    Thing that you still struggle with?

    I believe, in my humble opinion of course, that the two handed pass/shift/hop/whateveryouwanttocallittofeelspecial is a move that is very hard to get down "perfect", it takes perfectionists something like five years until they are satisfied with it. Now, I haven't practiced it this long, but...

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    How very true, but I just wondered if anyone had had the thumb fatigue spoken about, or if anyone else saw the problems that I see with necktying a deck in a game.

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    I doubt I would ever "move" in a game, not because I don't need the money, nor is it because I have some moral dilema about cheating: Rather, it's because of my nerves, I probably wouldn't dare make a move when the stakes are high enough to warant it. Never the less I want to make sure I have...

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    Ok, well, do you agree that necktying the deck hides the top of it, so that a larger brief would fly in a game? And do you think that excessive use of second dealing during a game will make your thumb tired, to the degree of not being consistant in the push off/pull back?

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    Erdnase makes no mentions on the inclination of the deck in the second deal section. He does, however, paraphrase Hoyle under the bottom deal section, where he suggests the deck be inclined downwards.

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    Which edition? (I am not a wealthy man...) So, does your thumb lose it's sense of touch and ability when you have dealt too many seconds?

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    Really, well, how do you hold the deck so that no one can see the top? Also, does your thumb get tired after dealing a LOT of seconds? Thanks for the reply.

    Is there any truth to this statement?

    Well, doesn't look like anyone has got an answer yet, which further confirm my conclusion that the statement is complete bunk. It just doesn't make any sense.

    Something Weird I Noticed

    I believe that when you are focusing on a move, you tense up, which might make your movements "jerky". Certainly is that way with me.
