Page 1 of 2 1. When a player exposes his cards prematurely (before everyone has folded and/or before the showdown), what is the technical ruling in a cash game?
2. In a cash game, if players are all in, are they required to show their hand? I was told that in Vegas, the dealers require you to turn over your cards, but online and on high stakes poker, the players are allowed to keep their cards face down if they wish. What is the official ruling here?
Poker Rules Professor says: 1. If a player shows his cards they he has folded his hand.
2. In a cash game if one player is all in you do not have to show your cards, but that can vary depending on the casino. I have played at Harrah's casinos in Vegas and they do not require to have the cards shown in a cash game.
1. Not allowed... if it happens everyone folds and you start from scratch. Usually if it's purposely done out of spite or more than once the person is thrown from the game. BUT if it's a mistake it's the dealer's fault you redeal all cards.
2. If ALL players playing are all in then yes you flip the cards and then the flop, turn, or river are revealed. Basically you're paying to see their cards, and you can't muck your hand if everyone is all in. If all the players are not all in than no noone shows their cards. you ONLY show if everyone is all in OR the river has been revealed and all betting is done.
1) In a casino environment that has a jackpot the player's hand would be dead because it would forfeit the jackpot.
2) You called a bet or raise; therefore, you are required to show your hand. In the event, you weren't all in but simply call a bet on the river anyone on the table can request to see your cards. The dealer will flip them at their request. The only time you can muck your hand w/o having to show is if you don't call.
1. This is not a dead hand. It is a disadvantage to that player, but it happens. The hand is played out as normal from their on out, however, other players may use that information to bluff, or easily bet if they know they are ahead.
2. In cash games, cards do NOT have to be flipped over. It is up to the original bettor to show his hand first, or muck his hand and concede the pot if he does not want to show. In a tournament, once there is no more betting because of all-ins, then all live hands MUST be flipped up before the dealer may turn another card.
1.every one is entitled to see the cards no special ruling here
2.if online in a cash game it is up to the players if they want to show there cards if it is the river if it is the turn or flop you can expose them but dont have to if you want to forfeit your hand
