About Burn Card

Hi,

I believe you once mentioned that there’s a burn card after before the flop however I heard from someone that there’s actually a burn card after every betting round. Which one is standard? I’m clueless. By the way, I don’t know the purpose of a burn card, do you have any idea?

Thanks and nice site!

Burning a card before each round is done to help prevent cheating. A card is burned before the flop, turn, and river cards are dealt.
