When do you look at your cards?

[tubalkain]

I look at them while they're still in the deck.

Or maybe when it's my turn to act. I'm not quite sure.

hahaha, good poll! I usually look at them one at a time. But sometimes I get superstitious and I wait until I get both. I only play limit in casinos. If I were playing NL it might be different.

Cheers,
Pots

My style is that I look down one at a time the moment they arrive in front of me. I do this because I figure no one would be looking at the moment and it would be tougher to get a read.

I do not understand why everyone would wait until it is their turn to act. Having the whole table know that you are going to look down gives them a chance to see your face as you look at the hand.

Would knowing your cards change the way you try to read oppenents faces as they look at yours?

this is true but how do you know what your opponent is doing when you are looking at your cards?

[Chap_Stick]

I look right away to start my thinking.

you guys look at your cards?

[jalsing]

I wait until the deal is complete, verify there is no mis-deal, then look at my cards.

[deacsoft]

Anything but waiting until your turn is incorrect.

I always wait until the action is on me. How would I be able to pick up a slight tell otherwise from someone else? And I always wear a ball cap and shades. If you need a new cap, take a look at my new design...http://www.indymerchantservices.com/poker.html

I hope all your pots are monsters!

I could not agree more!
