Calling your hand incorrectly at showdown....

i dont know if turningstone allows it, but they will let you get away with it a few times before warning/kicking you out (i think).

If calling your hand incorrectly is "not allowed", is there some sort of penalty of some kind? How would this be enforced?

I have learned to simply ignore what players say they have and read the cards myself.

i always make them turn their hand over before i turn mine over, if that is the order of course.

Hell yeah. Anyone who believes a player who declares what his hand is before seeing it and mucks is rather foolish IMHO.

There are so many players who get called on the river and want to see the other person's cards first that I may have to start using this as some sort of angle or I will go insane. (run-on sentence)

Bottom line is that CARDS SPEAK. Never concede a losing hand until the other player shows you that they have what they claim they have. EVER. If everyone knew to do this there would be no issue here.

If someone keeps purposely miscalling their hand, trying to shoot angles, just cattle-prod them and show them the dumpster in the alley out back.

I just stare blankly at them with a confused look on my face until the dealer has them show.

In many/most rooms if a player calls their hand and their opponant mucks if they do not have at least the hand they called they lose the pot.
