showing your cards before the showdown
I haven't played poker in a casino before. Are you allowed to show your hand before the showdown? I would like to be able to do this when there are three or four other players active in a hand and I would like to protect a big pocker pair

Re: showing your cards before the showdown
You protect a big pocket pair by betting. Also, most people with any pair besides a pocket pair are probably correct to be calling you with the number of outs they have. Flipping your cards over hurts you far more than it hurts them. (No, I don't know the answer to your question. But your reasoning behind asking this question is troubling. Low limit holdem is hugely profitable because terrible players put far too much money in against hands that dominate them. Continue to dominate them, rake in monster pots and be prepared to say nice hand when someone hits a 2 outer on the river, because it's why you're making money in the first place.)

This is one of the most patheic threads I've ever read.

Re: showing your cards before the showdown
I was playing a 3/6 game when the big blind raised after 6 people limped in. Everyone called. On the flop he flipped over his AA and bet out. I think the rest of the table took it as a challenge and stayed in as long as they had a shot at cracking his aces.
64o made a straight on the river. I think if the guy hadn't been such a dick (he was a dick for other things as well), he probably could have got the other people to fold.

Re: showing your cards before the showdown
In tournaments your hand will be dead(folded). In cash-games it might be dead, depending what the situation is and where do you play at. Any case it brings you nothing but the trouble.

[/ QUOTE ] Just a quick note on this. In casinos that use TDA rules your hand is not dead, but you are subject to penalty for exposing your cards. In a live game it is very poor form in a multiway pot. You most likley won't be asked to leave the first time you do it, but it is not within the spirit of the rules.

Hi Randy, What about heads-up? I recently played this hand.... I open-raise to $25. Tight pre-flop player makes it $50 to go. I call. Just the two of us to the flop. I check-call $15 on the flop. I check-call $15 on the turn. I bet $520 on the river. He thinks for a while, then starts to muck. Before the cards leave his hand, I say, "I'll show you one for free, the other one is going to cost you $520 to look at." This sparks his interest. I show him his free card. Within seconds, he calls. So, Randy and Capone (and other 2+2ers)..... 1) Am I a low down varment who violated the spirit of the game? 2) Or am I a bad ass poker playin' M%$#!@ F*#%*& :-) Just wondering. Thanks in advance and happy pokering! Howard
