I folded Aces!!!

I also have ? to why you led out $250 bet on the turn when three players where calling that flop? You should have gave it up right there and kicked yourself for not putting him in prefolp, because he has position and if he comes over top you, you have no choice but to lay it down.

Its out of order, whether you're telling the truth or not WHEN other people are to act. It can affect the play of the hand and is akin to mucking face up with others to act IMO.

I raise KK big preflop.
Flop came down A x x.
I bluff BIG at it from UTG. Two players to come...
First playing says, I'm going to fold and mucks his cards. Then goes, "no actually, I'll do this" picks his cards back up and flips them to show that he had an Ace!!! I.e. if third player has an Ace... I can't have the pockets, which I'm representing and they are most likely KK's or AK.

So... the third player DID happen to have the ace (AK)... and called and was absolutely adamate for the rest of the night that he wouldn't have called without having seen the ace (but didn't have the decency to void the hand).

I was left with $1 to play with, because someone thought it would be a nice idea to show his cards WITH ACTION REMAINING.

a) Is is against WSOP and casino rules (and now our home game rules)
b) I was so pissed off it ruined the night, I didn't handle it too well, my bad. Eventually my wife had the peace of mind to beer me up and all was well.
c) Do you honestly think what he did was considerate? Or ethical?

I hope I've made my point and I still get ired at the thought of this hand. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I'll be over it in another 10 years.

this is exactly the type of play that gets people into trouble, and then complaining that they took a bad beat. why did you just call and then not bet the flop?? if you just called because you wanted to reraise well you got your shot.but if you dont it is because you dont want it to be obvious that you have it when you bet a flop like this one so bet it!

Hey RoyalSampler

That is an unreal story...a player reaching into the muck to flash his hand and affect play and the ongoing action. I'm not sure how you restrained yourself from getting physical w/ the player.

I know this post is addressing a different topic but it will be interesting to see how the rules evolve as poker becomes more of a mainstream "sport" in the U.S. Fans don't like gray areas when it comes to rules involving the play of their sports.

Yeh none of us understood how significant this previous "gray area" in our games was until that night.
It is nolonger gray. And since being screwed by this I've become a real advocate of that rule.

I hate it. I am pretty laid back but I will really get annoyed with people doing it.

I can't imagine playing your AA worse...you slow-rolled 'em and you let someone catch his flush or two pair...
