Quick poll. If I'm all-in on the flop, I like to see the cards before the rest are dealt. It gives me somethjing to root for other than just waiting until the cards are dealt and then seeing if I win. Don't like that personally, but perhaps some people do.

I've been thinking about writing party for quite some time and seeing if others are interested in signing their names to the letter. Want to see what people think first.

Of course they should. The goal of online poker should be to simulate live poker as accurately as possible.

That means they shouldn't show the cards, unless it is a tournament situation.

True, I assumed we were talking tournament here. Cash should be player's choice from later position if they're beaten.

Why? Whats the secret? The hand is available in HHs anyway. It makes the game more fun to see the cards exposed in cash games as well as tournies. FTP and Prima do it in cash games and most people I know like it

No. Furthermore, players should be able to muck hands at showdown without having them available in the HH.

Agreed completely. But a lot of donks don't even bother to look so it can be an advantage to have the HH there.

What does position have to do with it? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

The person who made the all-in bet has to show first.

Because that gives a Huge Huge advantage to those who use Pokertracker and can see the HH quickly. Poker should be a fair game. Its not with this rule. I would like to see whether I outplayed that guy when I won the pot, or if I played badly and badbeated him.

It depends on the situation. Whether all-in or not, if I called your bet I should have the right to see your hand. I paid to see it.

If you call my bet and I win, you have the right to muck and not show what you called me with.

That's my 2 cents

I think they should open up the cards and slow down the deal a little. I know it is in their best interest to move things along quickly, but when you are all in PF and they spit the cards out so quickly, you don't even have any time to see what you have or how you won or lost the pot. I am always refering back to the HH to sift through the wreckage.

some of my opponents are to dumb to know how to use the hand history function. if he pushes, i call and he wins then i don't really need him to know what i had. and most of the time i'm busy with other tables that i just click back to check which way the chips came.
