It is good sometimes to show your hand and speed the game up. But if you are up against an angle-shooter, sometimes you have to get tough about the rules.

What angle is being shot here? "Oh, I see you have the winning hand, therefore..." ...er, what?

No the angle shoot is when a bettor gets called and then coyly refuses to turn his cards up. The bettor wants to see the caller's hand and won't show unless he can beat the caller.

This is clearly an angle shoot. Unless the bettor is a total fish, I will make him show his cards.

I try not to nit up a perfectly good game by demanding a hand be shown to me once it becomes clear that I have a winner. I will do this to some specific players who are likely to go on tilt as a result or if there was a lot of action in a hand and I want to see what they 3- bet me with as an example.

But at the Woods the rule is definitely earliest position opens first on a checked thru river.

As an aside it is good to see that they have brought in another first class group of well trained dealers. I made my first appearance there in about a month and the first dealer I sat with accidently dealt a late positon player who had not posted a card. UTG declares a misdeal and dealer goes along with him after he exposes his 2 of hearts. I strarted to speak up but I did not want to seem nitty, I was playing in a yellow chip game killing time, but I did let the floor know. Jan Fisher wrote an article about the Foxwoods dealers allowing players to get away with this in a High stakes game a while back. LOL @ lessons learned.
