interesting.
i agree on the fbomb rule..and felt bad for even asking if his hand was dead.
so told him i'd delay some, which i did.

so if you don't close out all action, that is when your hand is dead for saying what you have?

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think your hand is dead when prematurely exposed even when not closing the action.

There is confusion on this rule because about 5 years ago the rule was different. If you exposed your hand, it was dead. I know this because I survived a tourney with a beat hand when my opponent exposed his hand prematurely.
