Default Re: Daniel Negreanu is WRONG!

I don't have a strong opinion on exposing cards DURING a heads-up hand. I think DN would argrue that it adds skill to the game.

Meh. I don't think Daniel's losing much of an opportunity to "out-skill" his opponents. He effectively does the same as showing when there is four-to-a-gutshot on the board and he asks his all-in opponent, "hmmm, can you beat a set of sixes?"

I guess showing while the hand is still active would be a small deterrent to the Kill Phil strategy used by unskilled players to put the tough decision and all the pressure on the opponent. Daniel could show his cards and "look into their soul", pressing them to make a mistake and give off a tell.

But I don't feel strongly one way or the other, since I don't play live very much. Hey, we should beta this on PokerStars! It would be interesting if you could show one or both cards heads up. And I'd love to be able to show one card after my opponent has folded. Online, this would not likely slow things down too much.
