Card Flashing And The Rules?

[aucu 3]

Last month in a limit hold'em game in Reno we were HU and I had just made a flush on the river and bet after the vil checked it.While he was thinking about his call he fliped his cards over in front of him showing a pocket pair that floped a set. I'd never seen someone do this and after about 10 seconds I ask him if that was a fold, he said no and eventually called.What are the rules for ring games and showing your cards, in Reno it seems to be ok what about other places?

I'm pretty sure in a cash game, you can show your cards.The opposite is true for tournaments.

this is correct, i've seen a lot of people do it in cash games to try to get a "reaction" out of the opposing player

In any casino cash games I've played you can do this, but you should find out the exact rule before you try it... in some rooms you can show one to try to get a reaction, but in others the dealer will then flip the other one over for you -show one show both rule.

In a tournament, if cards are shown and a ruling is made, there was a sit out penalty for 10 minutes but now it's for a number of hands.

For those who claim it is true in all casino cash games it is not. Where I play, if you show a card during the hand, your hand is dead, so always make sure first, you don't want to make that mistake

This is true.House rules aren't always the standardized version.

This is not the "show one, show all" rule. That applies to when a player shows his hand to another player at the table, in which case everyone at the table has the right to see the player's hand. Any dealer that does the above is applying rules incorrectly. The only case where a person is required to show both cards is when showing down a winning hand.

Or when a stupid staff makes a jacked off house rule to match the TDA or someone misconceptions.

Many casinos (not sure if it's a TDA thing) have added a "show one show both" rule. DN complained about it in one of his blogs. You're right though it's not a case of "show one show all".

Assuming that the rules are the same all over is -ev, if I ever tried this it would be just my luck that the house rules would declare my hnd dead in a cash game.

Just to be clear - I was referring to a show one show both rule that is in place at some of my local casinos - not the show one show all rule.I can't imagine a good argument in favor of this rule though. It just removes a strategic tool from players and makes the game less interesting. Showing a card or both cards when making a decision is fun, suspenseful, and can be useful. I suppose it might drag a hand out if players get too in to these kinds of tricks and that costs a casino rake money, but it's poker -it's not a huge winner for casino's anyway.
