redfish 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Forget if it's a home game, put it this way...in a 9 or 10 handed nl cash game at the casino and two players are heads up in a hand, can one of the players show his cards before acting to get a reaction? Link to post Share on other sites
DrawingDeadInDM 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 The other night me and friend decided to play heads up nl for cash. In one of the hands I pushed all in and he thought about it and then turned over his cards to get my reaction and then made his decision.In general, is this allowed?We have both seen it done on the National Heads Up tourney on NBC. Daniel before doing it asked the dealer if it was ok, which leads me to believe this is an unusuall rule and most of the time it's not allowed.Thanks for your comments in advance."Your house, your rules."..but generally, as long as the pot is HU with no action behind you, then yes, it's fine.

Men the Hellmuth 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 In a home game, its the rules of the house, some say you can, some say you cant...... normally though in tournament poker, you are not allowed to expose your cards..... home games are a different matter, and cash i think it has to be heads up to expose cards, but if more people are in the hand then you cant... but then again im not sure, different places have different rules...

But, if Player X is last to act, and the other player(s) has/have already comitted the entirety of his/her/their stack(s), then most places will allow it. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Borderline angle shot, if you ask me, but Brunson does it so, Hey! what the fck do I know? Link to post Share on other sites
DanielSon 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I was at the casino playing NL and played with the cards on my forehead (like indian poker) so everyone else knew what I had, but I didn't. This move was very -EV though, but they let me do it Link to post Share on other sites
tentenoffsuit 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Depends on the casino, but at most, if you're heads up you can expose your cards at any time. Even if your opponent is yet to act. Phil Laak has a good article about flopping four to a flush with the ace high flush draw, and if you turn the flush , exposing just the ace of the suit if you think your opponent has a smaller flush, or a good piece of the board. He says the opponent will think there's no way you would expose that card and want him to call... it was in bluff magazine... go look it up.but always ask a dealer what their rules are on exposing cards Link to post Share on other sites
MasterLJ 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I've never been to a casino where you cannot do this but you should always ask first anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
