Proper Way to Look at Hole Cards
Tried to search for this and could'nt find anything. As an AC regular, I've recently started to feel as though I may not be protecting my hand as best as possible. Is there any Proper way to look at your hole cards? I hold the cards horizontally and cup them with my right hand while lifting them with my left. Is this considered the most secure way to check your cards? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Can other people see the cards? if not, you're doing it properly.

i don't hold them horizontal or vertical, i hold them diagonal and just lift the corner that I need to see suit and rank with my thumb while blocking the view with the rest of my hand, while cupping/blocking with my other hand.

Re: Proper Way to Look at Hole Cards
bring them to ur chest. but do so slowly...u wud hate to move the game along. then, from ur chest, begin to bring them up to ur nose. then spread them, look at them, and begin to bring them back down towards the felt. take ur time, ... then do what u need to do
also, as a bonus, when the dealer tells u to keep ur cards on the table, blatently ignore him and continue doin this for the rest of his down. |

Watch the other players. See what looks good.
Especially your 'neighbors'. If you can see their cards, you know what not to do. |
