I almost crapped my pants laughing
This may have been one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen at a poker game. It had the whole table in stitches...
$20, 10 person home tourney. About 8-10 hands into it MP (a real LAG, out-of-control player) raises 4 times the BB. The button re-rasies (I don't remember the exact amount) and it gets folded around to the original raiser who immediately pushes all in. The button sits and thinks for about a minute before announcing that he isn't calling/folding yet, just flipping his cards. He turns over JJ and studies the LAG player who just sits there grinning. After another minute or so, LAG says that he'll turn over one card to make the button's decision easier. As everyone laughs, he flips over a 10 (remember, this is after he saw the button's JJ). The button immediately calls (of course) and the LAG flips his other card to show 10 10. No one can believe what they just saw, especially when LAG spikes his set on the flop and doubles up at the button's expense. His response...? 'Pocket 10s trip up more than any other pair, so I knew I was good' The best part was that he was dead serious. Priceless.

Re: I almost crapped my pants laughing
Not to hijack, but just to share another funny story. I was playing in a tourney the other day and we were a couple rounds in. I think the blinds were around 30/60, can't remember exactly but it does not make a difference.
EP a tight fundamental player makes it 200 to go. The BB raises it up to 300. Before the BB can get his chips in for the raise EP is going all in for right around 1000. This causes BB to go into the tank. Minutes and I mean minutes later BB decides to call over half his stack to EP. EP proudly flips up QQ and BB just looks stunned as he flips over 79s. The flop comes as you would guess rag-rag-9. And, as luck would have it the turn and the river bring the other two 9s. EP slams the table and leaves for about 10 minutes as me and the other players can't stop laughing. BB proudly claims that he called because he felt it and he was looking for a flush.

If a player deliberately shows a card, the player may be penalized (but his hand will not be ruled dead). Verbally stating one’s hand during the play may be penalized.

He was faced with a legitimately tough choice and just wanted to try and get a read on the other player or get him to pull some of his usual anitcs. At a friendly home tourney no one's a stickler about the fine points of the official rules. You shouldn't be either...

Re: I almost crapped my pants laughing
That's exactly my point. It's a $20 game. There's no reason to expose cards and stare a guy down for a minute or so. If the player wants to treat it like a big stakes game, then he's got to follow the rules to do so.
And for what it's worth, our home games are lax and fun. Coincidentally, no one has ever exposed cards and then stared a man down to try to get a read. Amazing how that works.

Re: I almost crapped my pants laughing
I went back and read your 'rules' post more carefully. The tourney was in fact winner take all, so flipping his cards was totally legal. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
* BTW, this was supposed to just be an amusing story for everyone to check out and get a laugh from. You, my friend, need to develop a sense of humor.
