Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Under-cut to about half portion above break, shuffle
Under-cut to about half portion above break, shuffle off to break, in-jog first card and shuffle off. Then under-cut to in-jog and shuffle off. This action leaves the selected card at the bottom.
Square up, palm bottom card in left hand and pass deck
Square up, palm bottom card in left hand and pass deck to spectator to shuffle.

Of course the selected card may be brought to the top Just as easily, as an understanding of the System of Blind Shuffles makes clear.
