Verbal Hand Declarations are binding?
If a guy declares his hand incorrectly at showdown: he says he has a flush when he has a straight, and his hand is turned over afterwards, is his hand dead?
Just curious...

[/ QUOTE ] If the floor rules he intentionly over called his hand and an opponent throws his hand away he has a dead hand. edit: He gets no benefit of the doubt when determining if it was intentional.

Re: Verbal Hand Declarations are binding?
That is a good question.
I have called straight before when I actually had a flush. Cards speak so it is a lot of fun when my hand gets promoted and I take the pot. It always seems to make me a target at the table.

Cards speak.
Regardless of what the guy says he has, when the cards are tabled, the dealer is required to read the hand. Shame on the opponent for folding his hand before actually seeing if he is beat or not. True, it is dirty to say you have a better hand than you do, but I have seen this enough times to know not to throw my hand away until I personally confirm that my hand is beat.
