Marker used to signal the dealer or last player in poker

Dealer button and playing

cards

In poker, the buck or dealer 👍 button is a marker used to indicate the player who

is dealing or, in casino games with a house dealer, 👍 the player who acts last on that

deal (who would be the dealer in a home game). The term button 👍 is also used for a

variety of plastic discs, or lammers, used by casinos to mark the status of

players.

History 👍 [ edit ]

When poker became a popular saloon game in the United States

in the middle of the nineteenth century, 👍 the integrity of the players was unreliable

and the honor codes that had regulated gambling for centuries became inadequate.

Because 👍 the dealer has the greatest opportunity to cheat (by manipulating the specific

cards that players receive, or by inspecting the 👍 dealt cards), the players would take

turns in this role. To avoid arguments about whose turn it was to deal, 👍 the person who

was next due to deal would be given a marker. This marker was moved clockwise around

the 👍 table after each hand. A knife was commonly used as a marker, and the marker became

generally known as a 👍 "buck", as an abbreviated reference to the buck's horn that formed

the handle of many knives at that time.

When the 👍 dealer had finished dealing the cards

he "passed the buck". According to Martin, the earliest use of the phrase in 👍 print is

in the July 1865 edition of Weekly New Mexican: "They draw at the commissary, and at

poker after 👍 they have passed the buck." The phrase then appears frequently in many

sources so it probably originated at about this 👍 time. However, Mark Twain cited it as

common slang in Virginia City when he was a reporter there in 1862.[1]

"Passing 👍 the

buck" soon became a metaphor for dodging responsibility. U.S. President Harry S. Truman

was noted for a sign in 👍 his office reading "The buck stops here." It was a gift

from[citation needed] Fred Canfil, who found a similar sign 👍 in the warden's office at

the Federal Reformatory at El Reno, Oklahoma.

The use of other small disks as such

markers 👍 led to the alternative term "button". Silver dollars were later used as markers

and it has been suggested that this 👍 is the origin of "buck" as a slang term for

"dollar," though by no means is there universal agreement on 👍 this subject. The marker

is also referred to as "the hat". The origin of this term is believed to stem 👍 from the

wearing of a hat having been used to denote dealership.

Dealer button [ edit ]

Today, a

dealer button is 👍 typically a white plastic disc with the word "Dealer" on each side.

While in most home games, the player holding 👍 the dealer button deals the cards, in a

casino or cardroom, an employee handles this responsibility.

The dealer button is

sometimes 👍 modified to indicate a secondary detail about the hand being played—for

example, a kill game may use a button with 👍 the word "Kill" on one side to show that the

current hand is a kill pot, and turn the "Dealer" 👍 side up to show that the kill is off,

or a dealer's choice game might replace the dealer button with 👍 a placard indicating the

chosen game.

The term "button" is often used to refer to the dealer position, which is

the 👍 position whose turn to bet comes last. Being "on the button" is therefore the most

advantageous and most profitable position 👍 in poker.

Other buttons [ edit ]

In casino

and card room cash games, the dealer's well may contain an assortment of 👍 laminated

discs that the dealer may place in front of a player's seat under certain conditions.

Properly called lammers (rhymes 👍 with 'spammers'), but also referred to as buttons, they

are separate from and used differently from a dealer button.

The following 👍 table lists

the most common lammers and their significance:

Button Use All In Put in front of a

player who has 👍 wagered all their chips. Blind,

Small Blind with

Big Blind Put in front

of the players to show they owe the indicated 👍 amounts. The blind button is used in

single blind games, while the big and small blind are used together in 👍 double blind

games. Missed Blind,

Missed Big Blind,

Missed Small Blind Used to mark the position of

a player who has missed 👍 their turn to pay a blind. When the player returns, the missed

blinds may be paid immediately, or the player 👍 may keep the lammer and wait to play

until the unpaid blind comes in turn. Which indicative lammer is used 👍 depends on the

game being played or which blinds are missed. No Player

Absent Placed on the table

at the position 👍 of a player that has been away for an extended period. According to

World Series of Poker Live Action Rules, 👍 after the seat has missed the blinds, each new

dealer places an additional lammer in front of the missing player's 👍 empty seat. On

receiving a third lammer, the absent players chips' could be picked up by the house in

order 👍 to seat a player waiting to get in the game. Reserved Put in front of an empty

seat to hold 👍 it for a player that is arriving soon. Seat Change A player can request

one of these lammers from the 👍 dealer and reserve first choice to change seats when a

player at the table leaves the game. Third Man Walking 👍 Marks the position of a player

who leaves the table when two players are already away. According to World Series 👍 of

Poker Live Action Rules, the third player's chips' could be picked up by the house to

seat a new 👍 player if the third player has not returned when the blind comes to their

position. Kill/No Kill

Kill/Leg Up Used exclusively 👍 in kill games, these lammers are

unique since they read differently on each side to indicate the kill status of 👍 the pot,

similar to the "On/Off" point marker in Craps. If the kill is active, it is placed

"Kill" side 👍 up in front of the player who has triggered it to show that player is

required to "kill the pot" 👍 by posting an increased additional blind for the subsequent

hand; Unless the player is also in a regular blind position, 👍 which would require only

the increased value "kill" blind. If it is not a kill pot, the "No Kill" side 👍 is kept

up by the dealer. The lammer may also read "Kill" and "Leg Up" on each side to show 👍 who

has triggered the first half of a requirement to kill the pot ("Leg Up"), or if the pot

has 👍 been killed. Which of the two differently marked lammers is used depends upon the

requirement to trigger the kill pot 👍 for that game.
