Re: Very taboo. What do I do?
[ QUOTE ]
2nd to what steamboatin said opponent is solid player - he reads you correctly and your response is to confirm his suspicion? fix this leak before concerning yourself with table manners of the other players(and i dont buy the arguement you are using this to your advantage later in the session) however - i would never touch another players cards regardless of the situation [/ QUOTE ] i absolutely WAS using this play to my advantage.

Re: Very taboo. What do I do?
You're calling somebody a tool? I hope that's not your picture. LOL
[ QUOTE ] Here is a radical idea, don't be a tool. Show the hand or muck the hand. Only an ass shows one card. Yes the other guy was in the wrong and I would have screamed bloody murder but if you had better table manners, you wouldn't be in the situation in the first place. [/ QUOTE ]

Tool Tactic #1 be an ass and only show one card. Tool Tactic #2 when WRONG make a personal attack against the other party. Yes, I know they show one card on TV but that doesn't make it good manners. I bet you have sunglasses and a hoodie and your next post will probably mention my weight or that I wear eyeglasses.

Re: Very taboo. What do I do?
[ QUOTE ]
Tool Tactic #1 be an ass and only show one card. [/ QUOTE ] Why is it wrong to show one card after someone folds to a bet? Typically, someone shows that they had top pair. Many folders see this as a favor -- proving that they made the right decision. Giving partial information often keeps the table friendly while also helping the player showing his card by earning him respect in later hands. SB, Why don't you explain yourself?

Re: Very taboo. What do I do?
If you want to show your hand then it is perfectly okay and if you don't want to show your hand that is okay also. There is not one single good reason to show one card unless you are trying to upset the other player.
Showing one card in not respectful.

[/ QUOTE ] I still don't think you've confirmed why showing one card is being a 'tool'...many people see it as a courtesy to be shown that they were not bluffed out of the hand (as the OP had top pair). Since this was 5/10, I doubt opponent was folding an ace if they had one, making OP's hand good. If anything, he's doing him the courtesy of showing opponent that he made the right play, which can be used later when you want to take a pot from him (or anyone else) once you've established a tight reputation. Nothing done here makes the original poster a tool. You clearly need to play more live poker if this is your reaction to someone showing top pair after a no-call. Either that, or take the stick out of your ass. Nit.

[/ QUOTE ] to whom are you talking here? i really hope it's not about me and my OP. if we're talking about manners here, the guy is happier that he knows i had a winner, and i'm happy that he will continue to respect my raises putting me on stronger hands. it would be different if i was showing him a bluff or something. let's get things straight before you go around talking smack to everyone. mflo

If faced with the same situation, instead of turning over the other card, I would just say, "I knew an ass tool like you would be limping in with Ace-Rag." [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
