Flipping cards face up before calling an all-in
During a home game of NL Texas Hold 'em, three players were left and BB and button were still in the hand post-flop. BB went all-in and it was on button to decide to call (BB had button covered FWIW).
Button was new to poker and was having a tough time figuring out how to play, so people were helping him out. One person said "flip your cards over, we'll help you decide if you should call." Another guy said that constitutes a call, but the girl insisted that you can flip your cards face up, then decide if you want to call or fold. Is this true or does flipping your cards face up constitute a call? -Thanks

depending on how friendly your game is.. in tournies like the wsop, its a muck/fold. [/ QUOTE ] It's not a fold in the WSOP.

Re: Flipping cards face up before calling an all-in
I think its a punch in the face or the baby maker. Plays like this are low but at least he had an excuse that he was new to poker. I ran into this same problem and the response I got was in a cash game its allowed but in a tournament there has to be 2 players left. Now the question I have is that in a tournament is it only if two players are in the hand or if its actually heads up to see who wins the tournament?

[/ QUOTE ] This is dated 2005, but I doubt the rule has changed. http://www.pokerpages.com/pokerinfo/...wsop-rules.htm [ QUOTE ] 34. A player who exposes his or her cards during the play may incur a penalty, but will not have his or her hand killed. [/ QUOTE ]
