Re: Intentionally tabling cards - exposing cards in a tournament
[ QUOTE ]
These kind of theatrics make for great TV so if you're on the WTP or WSOP then go for it. Otherwise, think silently and fold or call.

Haha it's also successfully, and admittedly, been used by one of the most successful and by far most popular high stakes player of all time (I think his name's Doyle or something) for decades. So don't make it out to be mere showmanship. It's also not a violation of a single rule of tourney poker (in most rooms) and even cash games in many casinos and if a player feels it helps he/she get a read then go for it. Of course I don't like all the talk but don't criticize the guy, some people prefer to think out loud. Either way, not an angle shoot.
DICLAIMER: I NEVER GO WITH THAT MOVE. JUST STATING THAT MANY PLAYERS (Including a man who is arguably the "greatest" NL hold em player of all time) DO CONSIDER IT A SMART, USEFUL STRATEGY.
Good luck,
Matt
