There are lots of reasons for burn cards, the primary one being the most clumsy form of cheating. Marking cards as they are delt, nicking/ marking/ folding corners of cards in a discreet attempt to gain information about the next card to be delt. Simply disgarding "burniing" the top card effictively eliminates this,

Mechanics, and - I would have thought more importantly - marked cards. With burn cards, the card about to be dealt isn't at the top of the deck.

I believe there are online burned cards too. If you read the dealing specs at FT, it suggests there is a burn card. Why?
Tradition perhaps.
The poker God Bernice, the Bumbling Burner of BlueBacked Bicycle Cards would know.

Pretty much what he ^ said.
They are to make it harder for a mechanic to set the deck.
Obviously online you dont get mechanics (although the rigged theorists would naturally beg to differ), and therefore it is completely unneccesary to do a irtual burn.

Cards are burned live to prevent cheating.
Burned cards do not factor into the odds or outs because they are unseen cards. Therefore there is no difference between a burn card and the 22nd card in the deck. Both are unknown.

Burned cards are "burned" because someone might've seen them. Ofcourse, sometimes a burned card will be a card you'd want to see. Sometimes you'd have been glad it had been burned. It changes nothing.
