Re: Waiting until it\'s your turn to look at your hole cards?

I'll revive this thread just to bitch...
Yesterday's Wynn tournament was filled with WSOP $1K NLHE bustouts. And I was lucky enough to land at a table where 7 of the 10 players waited until it was their turn to look, and many were rarely prepared to look. A couple folks were particularly bad about it, and one special case would always just cover his cards with a chip when he got them and he'd lean back until it was his turn, then look around the table when the action was on him, sometimes ask "who's still in" or "who raised" or "has it been raised" while still not moving (like what's he been doing while not looking at his cards if not following the action). Then he'd lean forward and S L O W L Y (oh so very SLOWLY) squeeze out his two cards. Then pausepausepause, and in S L O W motion he'd muck--he'd slowly pick up his cards, and slowly move 'em forward a bit, and then pause before FINALLY giving 'em a little flip. I timed it... we got 5 hands out in 15 minutes during the 2nd or 3rd round. Thank goodness that table broke and I only had to suffer with it this bad for about 45 minutes.
Whomever popularized this common advice for the masses to not look until it's your turn needs to be keelhauled.
