Is this considered \"rude\"?
Is it considered rude or bad form to announce your hand prior to betting?
I was playing at paradise and had announced my hand on the flop and played it. A few hands later I announced pre-flop, "I have AA" when I actually had 79o. After some aggressive betting I won the hand on the river when the guy laid it down, but my question is...is it considered bad form to do this? If so, how bad on the scale of poker faux pas?

Re: Is this considered \"rude\"?
Generally in live play, one does not mention specific hands, and if he wants to talk smack, he keeps it to, 'I have a good hand', 'I think I have you beat', etc...
Online the rules obvioulsy loosen up, but I adhere to live game rules myself.

Re: Is this considered \"rude\"?
Rules?
I was playing live last week and this clown was first to act on the turn. He had raised PF, bet out the flop and had like 5 callers. Before he bets the turn, he says, "I don't wanna lose with these so I'm just gonna play with them up" and he turns over AA. He bets, everyone folds, hand over.

You aren't allowed to talk about the contents of your hand.

If you fold your hand, you shouldn't discuss the content of your hand as it may alter someone's decision who's still in the hand. But if you're head's up with someone, you can say whatever you want about your hand, or what you think his hand is.

Re: Is this considered \"rude\"?
the farthest i would go is to say something like "that's the last time i fold aces" when the flop goes AAK or something like that on a hand i'm not in. i can't imagine anyone takes that seriously.
seriously, though, i know people who will "think outloud" about their hand if they have to call an all-in and they're last to act. i've never had a problem with that, but anything beyond it is bad form, IMO
