Message: [QUOTE="Grossberger, post: 1426895, member: 55797"] Here is the rules from Roberts Rules of Poker [B]POKER ETIQUETTE[/B] The following actions are [I][U][B]improper, and grounds for warning, suspending, or barring a violator[/B][/U][/I]: Deliberately acting out of turn. Deliberately splashing chips into the pot. Agreeing to check a hand out when a third player is all-in. Softplaying by refusing to bet against a certain opponent whenever heads-up. Reading a hand for another player at the showdown [B]before it has been placed faceup on the table[/B]. [B]Telling anyone to turn a hand faceup at the showdown[/B]. [B]Revealing the contents of a live hand in a multihanded pot before the betting is complete. [/B] ^^These are if the hand HAS NOT been turned up. Once its turned up then this [B]THE SHOWDOWN[/B] 1. To win any part of a pot, a player must show all of his cards faceup on the table, whether they were used in the final hand played or not. 2. [B]Cards speak (cards read for themselves). The dealer assists in reading hands, but players are responsible for holding onto their cards until the winner is declared[/B]. Although verbal declarations as to the contents of a hand are not binding, deliberately miscalling a hand with the intent of causing another player to discard a winning hand is unethical and may result in forfeiture of the pot. (For more information on miscalling a hand see “Section 11 - Lowball,” Rule 15 and Rule 16.) 3. [B]Any player, dealer, or floorperson who sees an incorrect amount of chips put into the pot, or an error about to be made in awarding a pot, has an [SIZE=4][COLOR=darkorange]ethical[/COLOR][/SIZE] obligation to point out the error[/B]. Please help keep mistakes of this nature to a minimum. So basically You can't tell a player to turn up their cards at the showdown or tell them what they have UNTIL they have turned them up once turned up then the table should help the dealer reward the correct hand. EVEN if not in the hand. [/QUOTE]
