Undercut
Undercut has two meanings: the final down card being the lowest hole card in low-hole stud, and a shuffling technique used to prepare a stacked deck.
The simple explanation
In a stud game with a low hole card rule, the last down card can be the lowest of the hole cards. In cheating, an undercut is a way to shuffle a deck to prepare hands.
A closer look
The second meaning is used in the world of card cheating: the undercut helps to prepare a stacked deck, and is especially useful for preparing two stacked hands at the same time. Honest dealers shuffle and cut in ways that prevent this. If a dealer shuffles in an unusual way, tell the floor.
A practical example
A dealer shuffles and cuts the deck in the usual way, so nobody can use an undercut.
