A Canasta tray used in cutting and dealing. In card games, to cut the cards (also "cut the deck" or "cut the pack") is to split the deck into two packets by lifting one packet from the top and placing it face down next to the remaining cards beneath it. The lower packet is then placed on top of it.

These point values apply only for cards of the trump suit as decided in the bidding round - all 'dirt' suits are worthless.
