Re: Whats The Significance of Double Checking Cards??
[ QUOTE ]
I always see pros double check their whole cards on tv, and I was wondering why? I never look back at my cards. I was wondering if they do this to give off a false tell of weakness, or do they really not remember what they have.

I was watching Fred "Moe Greene" Chamanara on HSP when they were at the Palms and he had Mikey to his left. He was in a hand with Mikey and they both flopped flushes. Fred looked at his hole cards at least three times after the flop came on board. I would have liked to have asked Mikey what he thought Fred had considering all those glances. Did Mikey think Fred only had the ace and needed one more heart. Apparantly so, since Mike did the betting and found his flush (I think he had a Jack) wasn't good enough.
That gets a bit away from you question but if you are playing against most people, I think you will find they are rechecking to verify the suit(s) of their cards because they think they may have flushed or be drawing to one.
