Default Re: Whats The Significance of Double Checking Cards??

[ QUOTE ]
It's a bad habit they picked up years before when they were low limit players. When another player reluctantly folds a hand instead of making a big call the winning player sometimes will look crushed, as if that just cost him a bunch of money, peek at his cards and sadly hand them back to the dealer.

This is the kind of stuff you online players are missing. LOL [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

LOL ... too true!

Done "properly" the player has to check his cards... then look at the board... look back at his cards... shake his head a bit... look at the board... then back at his hand one last time... then... finally... begrudgingly... muck his hand.
