Default Re: Daniel Negreanu is WRONG!

Of the people who object to showing cards while your hand is still live only Daniel has addressed:

[ QUOTE ]
2. When there is no more action pending and a player is facing a bet, he should have EVERY right to show his opponent one, or both of his cards.

[/ QUOTE ]

What is the disadvantage of permitting someone to show their cards when in a heads up pot and the opponent is all in?

There is not a fear of collusion and there is no disadvantage to the other players when this happens.

The only possible sticky scenario is that the guy who pushed sees the hand and says 'you should fold' but that happens often anyway and if people were going to collude they would already know that they should fold to keep their friend in the tournament.

Please address why you believe that that specific (but common) scenario should be outlawed
