I'm sure this question has been addressed before. What is the purpose to flip up cards when someone goes all in during online poker? I've noticed that some sites do it and some sites refrain until the showdown. I've also noticed that sometimes cash games don't show until showdown whereas tournaments do. Is there no reason behind this poker phenomenon?

That would explain why tournaments allow it and cash games don't... |

Once both are all in it wouldn't matter if you get disconnected, it wouldn't affect any of the betting b/c at that point there is no more bettin.

AS far as live poker is concerned, generally you're required to turn them face up in tournaments, but not in cash games. This practice predated online poker as far as I can remember, but then I don't remember any NLHE tourneys back then at all.

I like how the cards flip up in a cash game on FT.
It makes it funnier to see someone suck out. On PS, I guess it's a courtesy to the fish to hide their mistakes. |
