Robinson Stud Deal (cheat-seat)

FALSE DEALS - chapter 5, page 455

What has always surprised me about this move is that I have never come across the 'Robinson-grip' in the hands of a mechanic! Here the move is demonstrated while dealing to the one-seat or 'cheat-seat.' The more the right hand takes to the left and in front of the deck, the more cover. The method can even be used to simply deal one underhand stud second as depicted. Note the starting position of the deck, how the deck levels out for the deal, and the return of the deck to the starting position.
