Looking for a ruling

[VinnyTheFish]

Searched and check Robert's rule, but I cannot seem to find an exact answer. I saw that tournament rules vary here, but we are playing a ring

Simply:

2 players left, Flop is dealt. K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Player 1 goes all-in. Player 2 waits about 10 seconds, then saying nothing and makes no hand gesters, nor chip moves - flips over (exposing) his cards A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], towards the flop, definately not towards the muck.

A few player murmer, player 1 (whose cards are still covered) says - "ok, that's a fold." Player 2 - says "No, I call."

Call? Fold?

Its a call. Kindof a cheap move imho, but legal most places. If anyone ever tries it against you insist its a fold if you have them beat.

I would think that is a fold.

[Randy_Refeld]

That is a a call. Exposing your hand does not kill it (most places, I guess anyone can make any local rule they want). If there had been more than two players left in the tournamet the exposing player would have been subject to a penalty.

It was a call. Exposing your cards does not constitute a fold. In my opinion it wasn't the smartest thing to do releasing his hand but the hand was most definatly live.

If the round of betting is now heads up (inluding if one player is all in on a previous round) flipping your cards face up is completely legal. Basically, you can do whatever you want when it's heads up in NL.

In a ring game, yes, legal. In a tournament, probably a warning, possibly a penalty. The hand is never dead. TDA rules are clear on the tourney side.

This is house dependant as well.Not all card rooms use TDA rules.Some will kill an exposed hand.I play tourneys in 3 different rooms in Blackhawk,CO.Two of them will kill the hand.
