Rearranging Upcards

[Al Mirpuri]

In 5 card stud is it acceptable for players to rearrange their upcards?

I have seen the rearrangement of upcards in 7 card stud games where players have rearranged upcards to emphasise that they were drawing to or had made flushes or straights. (These rearrangements were made as semibluffs, bluffs and reverse bluffs.) Is this ethically permissible?

Is it a case that some games are more strict on this point than others,eg, casinos?

In the Vegas rooms, it's against the rules to rearrange your cards in a way which confuses the order in which they were dealt.
