Looking for a ruling

[VinnyTheFish]

Searched and check Robert's rule, but I cannot seem to find an exact answer. I saw that tournament rules vary here, but we are playing a ring

Simply:

2 players left, Flop is dealt. K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Player 1 goes all-in. Player 2 waits about 10 seconds, then saying nothing and makes no hand gesters, nor chip moves - flips over (exposing) his cards A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], towards the flop, definately not towards the muck.

A few player murmer, player 1 (whose cards are still covered) says - "ok, that's a fold." Player 2 - says "No, I call."

Call? Fold?

Its a call. Kindof a cheap move imho, but legal most places. If anyone ever tries it against you insist its a fold if you have them beat.

I did! I was furious.

I would think that is a fold.

That is a a call. Exposing your hand does not kill it (most places, I guess anyone can make any local rule they want). If there had been more than two players left in the tournamet the exposing player would have been subject to a penalty.

Saw once where a player put out his stack and announced all-in, second player called and all others folded. All-in guy then flips over his cards and so does the caller. Caller gets a 20 minute penalty because the all-in guy had string bet and still had one chip behind. (the all-in guy also got a penalty, not that it mattered)

Now thats completely stretching the rules to institute a penalty, but it is legal. Although the person who gave out the penalties should be kicked in the nuts.

Another case of a floor trying to follow the rules isntead of knowing the rules and acting appropiately.

[/ QUOTE ] Agreed. Although since he was on my immediate left I didn't mind stealing his blinds for 20 minutes :0)

No, another case of the floor not knowing the rules.

When the man said "all-in", he's all-in. Whether or not all the chips got pushed forward is immaterial.

Any floor who deems that a string-bet, doesn't know the first thing about poker.
