Tell The Truth About Your Hand

[ptartaglio]

I’ve been hearing a lot about the “tell the truth about your hand and get a penalty, so you better be lying about it” rule in tournaments.

I was wondering if an opponent starts talking about his hand can you ask the dealer or floor person to verify that he was lying and not in fact telling the truth if he doesn’t show down the cards. If so does anyone know of any procedure or how it has went down in the past?

What venues, circuit events, or tournament series are using this rule? Or who isn’t?

Any links or more information regarding this rule is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Paul
