I’m wondering if there’s actually a need to offer someone to cut the cards during a home game or tournament.

Thanks for any response in advance.

Kelly,

In home games it is customary to offer someone to cut cards to cut down on suspicion of cheating. If you ever play a tournament in a live casino you will notice that just before the deal, the dealer will cut the cards on a cut card. This is part of their required routine. Cutting helps to randomize the cards as well.
