Re: I bluff in a tourney, other players offer cash for him to call
Let me get this straight - if I have a set of Kings and go all in, I can turn my hand over before someone calls or folds? Why in the hell would I want to do that? Now, I can see the rule where the person who is left to call or not (with no other action behind mind you) can turn up his cards, but the person who moves all in? That makes no sense what so ever.
Let's say you move in and show your AQ two pair on a AKQ board. Well, I have AK so now my desicon is very easy becasue you showed me what you moved in with. Don't you think that defeats the purpose of the game? I mean, there is no decision to be made, you're either beat or not. Whether or not you call with a draw would be based on odds / read alone, not seeing the other hand. SO you show me a set of Kings. Well I have a flush draw. I have the same hand and odds that I had before you showed me, same decision. Yes, you can come up with scenarios that would make more sense, like flush draw against a boat etc... but overall this is just silly.
