Tournament rules - showing hand preflop
Suppose you were in a satellite, close to the money, with AA in the pocket and all you want to do is pick up the blinds - you don't want a 20% risk of going bust. Is it against the rules to actually show your hand preflop and then move all in?

Re: Tournament rules - showing hand preflop
seems like you should take your 20% chance of busting here. if its a satellite you should be only plying for first, so as a short or medium stack this is the hand you've been waiting for. and as a big stack, this is a hand you've been waiting for. as a poker player, this is the hand you've been waiting for. if youre afraid to play AA, you probbaly shouldnt have entred the satellite.

Showing your hand before other players have acted is a DEAD hand in tournaments. Some will give you a penalty, as well...

Usually when this occurs at least half the table will claim this is a dead hand
