Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 800593, member: 23910"] Zach, I think that one varies a lot from casino to casino and, more importantly, varies a lot between cash and tournament play. In a tournament, in theory it should get you a penalty every time under TDA Rule 31. Note that the hand will not be ruled dead - the penalty will commence at the end of the hand. Cash games tend to have a slightly more anything-goes approach. I suspect if you just did it the once and someone objected, you might get a quiet word from a floor person but not much more. Some places might be more strict than others - I've not actually seen it done in any casino cash game I've played, but I don't see there'd be any harm in just asking the dealer "Am I allowed to show him my hand?" if you wanted to have a go at it. So in short: In a tournament - definite no In a cash game - kinda sorta no but maybe yes it depends :p [/QUOTE]
