Default Re: Discards touch your hole cards, where\'s the rule?

I agree with you Zetack. I think the problem arises when you cannot positively identify whose cards are whose from the backs. If you allow the folder to look at all four cards and pick out his original two you open yourself up some serious problems of collusion. So, unless there is a definitive way to determine which cards belong to who, both hands get killed.

If a player folds and his cards land on top of Player X's cards, for example, Player X's hand should still be live. But if they get mixed into it, even if it has a chip on it, then both hands would have to be declared dead. Don't forget to give the folder a serious KITN too.
