When playing Omaha live, I will often arrange my hole cards in a manner to help organize my board reading. I do this for every hand. Is this a mistake?

McGuw - There's an old bridge saying: "One peek is worth two finesses."

Assuming you only sort once, rather than after the flop, then again after the turn or river, no one could probably determine what cards you held or even which way you were going (high, low, or both) by watching the way you sort the cards in your hand.

But if you lift your cards off the table and are not guarding carefully to make certain you don't inadvertently flash your cards while you arrage them, maybe in the act of moving a card, or just holding them high enough off the table to be able to move them around, you enable an opponent to see your hand, or even a card in your hand.

You're not unique in arranging the cards in your hand. I've sat next to a card arrangers. Often they inadvertently flash some or all of their cards.
