Default Re: Daniel Negreanu is WRONG!

Matt,
I believe that in a heads up pot when one player is all in the player who is contemplating the call should be allowed to show his cards to the player who is all in.

This allows for the the player who is being put to the test to gain information via psychological warfare something that is, and should always be, a part of poker.

The player who shoved all in should not be permitted to show his card to his opponent because doing so would make it easier for those players to collude.

I do not agree with the wording of your poll. I do not believe that a player should be permitted to show his cards "at any time" rather that he should be permitted to show his cards if his opponent is all in and it is a heads up pot. I also do not believe that it is "too subjective"

FWIW I voted for the first option as I do not believe that Daniel is wrong in this instance.
