“You remove the twos and threes and you insert a joker. This leaves you with 45 cards. As the game is played with 4 people (most commonly anyway), this leaves 10 cards in a hand and 5 “in the middle”. Some call it the kitty, a small pile of cards dealt to the center of the table, face down. My family also calls it the blind, which is the term I tend to use automatically. Every other card game I have played, you deal one card at a time. 500 is different. You deal three cards to each person an...d put three in the middle. You then deal four to each and add two more to the middle. Then three more to each. That gives each person 10 and 5 in the middle. I don’t know why you deal this way. I think the end result is somewhat less random hands (in spite of shuffling), which makes for better play. There may be some other historical reason for this. Some people deal 3-2-3-2 instead.MoreLessRead More Read Less
