can i show my two hole cards during play?
if there is much money in the pot and there has been a reraise and many calls that one and I GO ALL IN with A,A. I dont wanna play 2 or more opps, I am satisfied with the money in the pot allready SO I SHOW MY ACES when i pushes all my chips in - is this legal to do? I prob will be beaten by someone if it turns out to be a multipot, so i try to scare them. |

No..its not allowed (at least at any normal card room) and rightly so. You might kill action for another player who might want the callers.
No good player is going to fold even if you DO show your cards, if he has the correct odds to hang around...and it sounds like he might. Youre a favorite anyway, even if its only slight. You don't want them to fold. |

First time you would probably get a warning. Its a cheap ploy though and not really fit to be discussed. Play your cards correctly and stop trying to cheat the system. Push them out of the pot with a bet, not some pathetic ploy

As far as I know, if you turn up one or more of your hole cards, your hand is dead and you're out of this pot. There aren't a whole lot of offenses like this that will forfeit the tournament for you.
This rule isn't universal, but it's pretty close -- the National Heads-up Poker Championship allowed you to show your cards, but being heads-up, that's a little different. |

Exposing your hand at any time during a tournament will subject you to a penalty in most places. In a cash game, you will have done your opponents a favor so anyone who complains is a moron. |

good question. true answer: it depends on the individual casino.
i know this because i do it. most recently, i was at the MIRAGE in vegas. i did it. the floorman said if i did it again, my hand would be forfeit. the point-- ask the floorman if they allow it. |

Here's the thing though - if its preflop there is NO reason that you want ANYONE folding... unless you dont like money... in which case you shouldnt be playing. If its post flop and I am your opponent, I am calling the floor and getting the hand ruled dead because you just ruined MY pot that I was going to take from both you and the people that were dumb enough to call you.
What is the reasoning behind wanting people out of the pot when you have the best hand? |
