What to do here? (Player tables his cards by accident)

[Cleveland Guy]

This happened at my home game tournament last night.

Blinds 10/20.

Hero is in the CO with 98s

we are 9 handed. UTG Folds, UTG +1 Limps, 1 Fold, a Min Raise, a Fold, I call, Button Folds, SB raises to 150, BB Folds, UTG +1 Folds, Min Raiser Folds, and SB thinking the hand is over tables his cards face up showing AJo.

A couple people tried to tell him not to as I still hard cards, but he didn't hear them until after he acted.

Now my initial thought was to fold here, I don't want to call that much more heads up with a speculative drawing hand.

Stacks are still deep, but I now know what he has, and he has no idea what I have.

Since this is a friendly home game - I decided to go with my initial thought and fold away.

What would you do here?

What would you do differently if this was a random casino tournament where you didn't know the players, and weren't friendly with them?

I would think Cha-Ching....Early Christmas present.

Seriously, He is in charge of his cards. Everybody sees what he has so we wont get into the whole, "I saw it did anybody else?"

If the question is whether you should have played a 98s against his hand now that you know. I would make it depend on your stack size. I would be inclined to play.

Whats up Cleve guy, I spent 5.5 years getting my undergrad degree from CWRU so ive been around there. Ever go to Dicky Lanes on W. 25th?

Anyway, since its a holmes game and only you and he are in the pot, you should have the option to call and table your hand and deal the board as if you were both all in. Seems fair that since he acted out of turn you can act on his bet since you already have chips in the pot.

Cleveland rules pittsburgh sucks, goodnightnow.

his hand plays face up and thats his problem. If you wanna be nice and either just call and check down or whatever your action "would of" been if you had not known his hand thats good. In a casino trny. I am totally using that info to my advantage either to make a bigger bet or fold down my rags.

Reraise all-in, then when he mucks, show your hand. I dont see how a deep stack can call this bet.

[joeboe2001]

Bad idea.

If he is dorfy enough to turn over his cards, he is dorfy enough to call the all in.

Or maybe he is just slicker than the rest of us.

He can still act, and doesn't have to show his hand. Villan's hand is still a live hand and subject to a raise without gaining information on anyones hand.

Do you play NL?

I would fold also. 98s plays better to a large field. He has a big advantage with his high cards in this hand.

[spoohunter]

Call and check raise all in any flop he doesn't pair on.

I thought the standard tourney rule was that if you expose your hand, it's dead?
