Is there a TDA rule that specifies how a shuffle should be done.
I know the industry standard is riffle(x2) strip(x3) riffle, then box. Is it written anywhere ?

Home game, on the river, Player A bets 1200. Player B calls. Player A states that he has a flush and Player B throws his hand into the muck face down. Player A then throws his hand into the muck and starts to collect the pot. Another player states at the table he wants to see the winning hand and the dealer seeing the winning hand was laid on top of the muck flips the 2 cards over too see that Player A was lying. Then Player B rifles through the muck to find his hand and flips over his winning hand. Everyone at the table states that Player B wins the hand. Player A states that once the hand is thrown into the muck the hand is dead, saying that he knew that Player B would throw his hand in the muck if he said that. Other than this being an etiquette issue, whats the ruling? House rules have always been Casino rules…..
