Re: Is Doyles\'s expose the aces play legal?
Rules vary from room to room, but in a cash game in a HU pot, the VAST majority will allow you to expose one or all cards at any point during the hand.
Since you play a fair amount at the Wynn... Yes they do allow it like any good room will.
As to the value, it can have value, but not always.
Here is a hand from the Wynn 1/3 NL game...
I raise UTG to $30 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], I pickup 2 callers.
Flop comes Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. The BB (rather short stacked for the table) leads for $120, I insta AI for ~$600, other caller folds.
The BB flips the A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], I fliped up the K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and after much thought called.
After the hand he told me he figured that I was on KK with the redraw to the flush.
In a tournament, it is almost never allowed. Anywhere from a warning to nasty punishment/DQ.
Bottom line always ask the floor before sitting...
