Re: Whats The Significance of Double Checking Cards??
I double check my cards every single time I'm in a hand when a flop is dealt. I do it right before the flop comes out. I always make sure I have the suit memorized at that point so that I'm never giving any info away about my cards.

Re: Whats The Significance of Double Checking Cards??
Sometimes I look at my cards again before I make a big decision for all my chips. When you thought you had AQ on a QQQ flop but you really had AJ, you'll be pissed when you put the money in and say "QUADS", flip over your hand, and see you have A high. < Slightly kidding, but you get the idea.
Also, before a big fold, its sort of a last goodbye to my hand. |

Also, they are "hole cards" not "whole cards".

Re: Whats The Significance of Double Checking Cards??
Obviously, many of us do this to check for suits, and pros might not be so confident in their memories that they commit to a certain action without double checking. Now, in a lot of small- to mid-limit games, people will sometimes double check their cards while looking at the board; I often take this to mean weakness, but I am still cautious of the possibility that it's a false tell.
Other times, I and other players might forget our cards more often when we're extremely tired. If I find myself forgetting my hand, I know it's time to go home. All that said, I normally make sure I check my cards for all of the intentional reasons stated above so that when I actually must go back and have a second look, it's not a dead giveaway of anything in particular. |

I always recheck my cards on the flop, to remember the suits and to make sure I didn't make a mistake before I commit more chips. After the hand is over on TV, players look again for the camera, is my best guess.

Re: Whats The Significance of Double Checking Cards??
If you play low stakes NL in a casino (1-2NL for example) with a lot of older regulars, double-checking the cards can give you a great clue about what they are holding (in 3-4 flush boards). Most of them don't really remember the suits.
To avoid this, I double-check my cards (and memorize suits) everytime after I commit to play a hand pre-flop, either if it is a call/bet/raise. IMO waiting for the flop to double check the cards can give away too much information. |
