Dealer
While in some small games (usually your private garage games with friends) players will take turns in shufflilng and dealing the cards, there will be a Dealer at each table in most official poker games.

Disconnect Protection
In online poker there is always the possibility of a disconnection. In this case the Disconnection Protection kicks in and the current amount that you have put into play will be handled as if it was an All-In. This means that you will not automatically Fold nor will your current Chip Stack be endangered.
