hopefully....

according to tomb1's brilliant chip race color-up article (link.....a must read for those that haven't):

Starting with the button, deal one card face up...

is this the the player that was the button from the last hand before the break?

-or-

is this the player that will be on the button when play resumes?

Simple answer...and possibly wrong...last player to have the button. Actually, I read somewhere--don't remember where--you start w/seat one or the nearest occupied seat to seat one. That's how we color-up in my home game.

I've always done it, as last player from the button.

thanks dudes.

Every casino I've ever played in and almost all 'private' games the color up starts in the one seat regardless of where the button is at.

I agree with Nexttime. In the tournaments I dealt in we always started at seat 1. I suppose if you didn't assign specific numbers before the start of the tournament that starting at the seat just after the button (small blind position) would work too.

Yeah, this is what I've seen too.

that's what we used to do also. now we just chip everyone up instead of doing the race.

I cant say much as but Jackson Rancheria does thier chip races from the seat that WAS the button before the break.

I've always seen it done, the same way the button is found prior to beginning fresh play.

Seat 1 (left of the dealer position) gets the first card...etc.
