Follow up question: "Phil, what if you couldn't see everyone's hole cards?"

His answer "Almost 100."

Here's one problem with being able to see your opponent's hole cards. Imagine this scenario:

You're on camera at the WSOP main event. First hand and you're even with your opponents. You pick up T-T in mid position and raise.

Sammy Farha is in late position calls and the two of you are heads up seeing a flop of A-A-T. He has A-T.


[/ QUOTE ]
Option A)Continuation bet on the flop. Don't bet anywhere else...when you meet resistance, flip your cards face up into the board and go,"I guess my Jacks are no good." Then be horrified at how you misread your hand and how they are pushing the pot to Sammy.

Option B)Just check and fold. When someone sees it on TV, claim it wasn't what you actually had and that ESPN must have made it up.

In fact, I think it would be good practice to just hide your cards from the hole card cameras Seidel/Lisandro style.

Option C: Call out Sammy's hand on national TV and blow everyone away with your amazing hand reading ability as you go on to win the biggest tournament in poker history.
