Robert's Rules of Poker - Version 10

SECTION 1 - PROPER BEHAVIOR

CONDUCT CODE

POKER ETIQUETTE

The following actions are improper, and grounds for warning, suspending, or barring a violator:

Deliberately acting out of turn.

Deliberately splashing chips into the pot.

Agreeing to check a hand out when a third player is all-in.

Reading a hand for another player at the showdown before it has been placed faceup on the table.

Telling anyone to turn a hand faceup at the showdown.

Revealing the contents of a live hand in a multihanded pot before the betting is complete.


Given that Player A very likely did not do this intentionally since he really has nothing to gain, I think the above would be worst punishment that should be given in this situation. And really, it would be a mild caution at best.

Thanks for the quote. I skipped the part about POKER ETIQUETTE while searching for the rule.
Stupid me I guess.
