Crazy Pineapple NL question

[Patcho]

my buddies and I have been mixing in CrazyP because everyone seems to love it both cash and tourny style. We also play it NL.

The problem we keep having is let's say two guys get all in preflop. Should each player get the benefit of seeing a. what the opponent has and more importantly b. which card he's going to discard?

I argue that they should just keep them facedown until the discard but everyone else wants to "flip em" causing the discard issue.

Hope that makes sense and thanks.

Yeah, if they just played cash-game NL and kept their hands down there'd be no problem.

You should treat this as you would any other situation in which cards have been revealed before action is complete--- action isn't complete until the discards have been done. (I dunno what your home rule is to cover such situations.)

If I were running the game then the player OOP would have to discard first but would be allowed to pick his cards back up so that his discard was not revealed.

No way someone should turn their hand up before it is time to discard, whether there is more betting to occur or not.
