Re: What\'s the point of the \"can\'t lie about your hand\" rule?
I've heard of this rule, "You can lie about your hand, but not tell the truth."
Was at a table a few weeks ago, several limpers, BB checked pre flop.
After the flop, someone bets, and BB flips his cards up (showing 72o) and folds. Dealer warned him (correctly, I think) that he was giving players who hadn't bet yet information that they weren't entitled to.
As a previous poster pointed out, if you can't show your cards you shouldn't be able to tell people what they are, makes at least some sense.
Warning seems appropriate in a low limit game.
