Everyone, I've been reading for a while now but this is my first post.
I've been playing/learning for a year maybe, but definitely still a novice, and visited a B&M cardroom two days ago for the first time since I've taken the game seriously. This is what happened: I won't comment on how the hand progressed, but I end up seeing a flop with A2o in a pot with three players. Two aces on the flop, so I've got trips. I check to an aggressive player who bets. Third player folds. I raise. The other guy is figuring out if he wants to go all-in. He's directly on my left, talking right into my ear, trying to get a read. Then he turns over one of his hole cards, the case Ace. He goes all-in and I eventually fold because he's clearly got to have me out-kicked, but I was wondering about the legality of this. I folded, but my girlfriend, who also plays, says I should have alerted the dealer or the floor and could have been awarded the pot. I don't think so, but I play mostly online with the few cents I've pulled together from freerolls, so I have no idea how this should have been handled. I played the hand poorly, I know. Just wanting opinions/rulings about the flashed card. Thanks. Sorry if the format of this post sucks. First one. I'll get better, promise. |

In most places you can show cards as long as the pot is heads up.

Your girlfriend wanted you to be awarded the pot even though you did not have the best hand.
I will self-censor. |

Yeah, some people think rules exist so that the people who know more about them can take advantage of those who know less.

I think that what the player with the other ace did was legal in most cardrooms. I have seen a lot of that in Florida NL games and nobody complains. In tournaments this is probably a different story.
Good thing that the guy flashed the ace. Probably saved you some chips. |

This is very hosue dependent, I have seen some casinos where this could be ruled a dead hand by flashing cards even if its heads up, although i have also been to casinos where when the action is heads up, you can do whatever you want. You should view it this way, you got into a hand with A2, not very strong, you put out a feeler raise, players comes over the top of you, and you fold, very standard. If he doesnt show u the ace he probably stacks you so you should be grateful. |
