what is the rule for this.

[PhilTheThrill14]

I'm not sure we are agreeing or disagreeing here. The original post was as such:
<font color="purple">
UTG BETS 1000
I go all in with 99.
seat 6 and seat 7 shows each other their hands... seat 6 folds a 77....seat 7 calls. </font>

Both hands (6 and 7) should be dead and the cards NOT exposed to the rest of the table. That is my ruling. Someone else wanted the cards exposed to everyone else - I was stating that they should not be exposed - I did say that if the cards had to be shown to all, then wait until this round's betting was over. In hindsight it would make no sense to expose them to all at any point. Kill 6 and 7 and move on.

I think we actually agree now..... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Greetings. My first 2+2 post...

I was watching Poker Royale (Comedians vs. Pros) last night and this actually came up. The commentator said something like...
"In the older days you could show your opponent your hand to get a read on them, but they no longer allow it."

My expose the hand reply was for PokerGoblin's situation, that he described in his reply.

My understanding is that is true for tournaments. Cash games might still allow it, supposedly. Check your local cardroom to be sure.
