Announcing Cards

Padlington · Oct 31, 2016

Just been playing on a table admitted its a freeroll my question is that a player was pre announcing his cards in the chat box as far as I know this is not poker etiquette what is the general opinion of this action

in freerolls.. its either a bluff or they say they wanna give their chips away cause they cant finish tourney.. but in my opinion, if you don't wanna play nomore then jus sit out.. half the time you lose to bs cards anyway in freerolls.

I tend to warn them and then report them to the site. The one player to a hand rule is usually what I point to in the message.
Its not always just a bored player or a angler,sometimes their skype went down or they are helping a friend in later position that is not answering back in chat.

It breaks down to about 50/50 from my experience in them knowing better or not.
Some have no clue they are breaking a rule. Like when the flop comes and they folded and state they would have had trips!

Yep freerolls are like bingo..Anything goes most of the time since you can play it 100% correct and still take a horrible beat to some all in madness.

I had this thing happen a few times when I used to play play money. When people got bored they would announce their hands and go all in just to quit. I think that this is a huge breach of the rules as it obviously effects people's actions, but as people are saying, I would just let it slip in a freeroll against guys who have no idea what they are doing. You don't want to become that guy who reports someone in a freeroll and makes some happy recreational player get his account blocked. 😉

I've seen this a couple of times, and usually it's a player looking for someone to call so he/she can leave the tournament. I generally just ignore them in case it's a trick, which I've also seen a couple of times. These players are generally losing players on sharkscope.

That's not good , luckily it happens rarely in freerolls by some idiots ,no cheaters or sth else . If nb pays attention to them very soon they lose going all-in so the game continues uninterupted .

I did not think that it was allowed in any form of game announcing cards in theory you are playing with only 50 blind cards

I never do this because you show to the remaining players of the hands two cards that can be considered in his/her outs remaining.

You will run into this in the freeroll world from time to time. Not much you can do besides ask them to stop or report them.

I think it's not right but it's found on the Internet

It is against the rules and TOS on every site.

Late registration is necessary to remove, playing too many people

this is what I believe
I thought mods who watch the games may of commented during play and warned the player then I suppose it not much of an issue in freeroll

Announcing Cards is a No! No! for me is a very bad practice that should be deserved of a disqualification. It is Not Funny, neither should be allowed! :deal:
