Rather than debating whether or not this is a good play, I'm just curious what would happen at the table if this happened.
We've pretty much established that if you push the first hand of the WSOP, you are EXTREMELY unlikely to be called by anything other than AA and possibly KK.
Suppose you just push a real bad hand on the first hand, and when you take it down, show it face up. 72o.
Suppose you are using this as a setup play for later. In order to get called by a sub-par hand (say JJ or worse) on an all in, would pushing and showing once work? Or do you think that people would automatically assume the next time you push preflop, you are doing so with random garbage/a bad hand. I would almost think they would figure this time you really have it, and fold again. How many times of pushing and showing crap would it take before someone would call you down with a borderline hand? Are you more likely to run into AA first?
