Intentionally tabling cards - exposing cards in a tournament
Cross posting in B&M because a similar thread there came up in my search.
One table tournament - 6 players left UTG folds, MP folds, CO folds, Dealer Calls, SB completes, BB checks Flop K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] SB checks, BB bets, Dealer Calls, SB folds Turn 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] BB checks, Dealer checks River A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] SB goes all-in The dealer thinks for a minute and then tables K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and says, “I think this two pair is good. I don’t think you slow played the flush and I don’t believe you’ve got AK or you would have come out stronger pre-flop. I call”. SB mucks and concedes pot. Other players at the table felt that Dealer tabling his cards to get a read on BB was a questionable manuever. Nothing in the home rulebook (RRoP) addressed this issue. From the TDA Rules: “6. Penalties: A penalty MAY be invoked if a player exposes any card with action pending, if a card(s) goes off the table, if softplay occurs, or similar incidents take place.” “36. A player who exposes his cards during the play may incur a penalty, but will not have his hand killed.” Does anyone know what the spirit/reasoning behind these rules is? The players were heads-up and this didn’t influence anyone else’s betting since there was no more action. So what do you think: was this an angle shoot, a rule violation, or a good play? |
