I want to know what the rules or guidelines are for showing cards before the hand is over. Is it ok to state what you have? How about say you have a card and ask if they want to see it?
Here's the situation: Home Game, Tourny, 3 handed, 4-8 blinds moving to 6-12.
I hold Q8 spades on the big blind. Button folds, SB raises 8, I call. At this point in the game, a raise just means he has a playable hand. He's chip leader and had been stealing pots for a while.
Flop comes T Q 7, two clubs. SB checks. I bet 8, he raises 15 more.
I only have 19 left, so if I call I'm basically all in. I have him pegged for lesser hand then me.
At this point I want to make him fold so he doesn't outdraw me, but the 4 extra dollars isn't enough, even with a bluff or bottom pair he'll call.
Can I show him my Q?
Can I state that I have a Q?
Can I ask him if he want to see my Q?
If he says yes can I show it then?
If I show can I just show one card?
If he knows I have a queen and he's on a bluff he's got to lay it down.
Thoughts?
