Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 1709486, member: 23910"] While you might not think it your style of writing [B]does [/B]makes you hard to understand. I had to read your original post over a bunch of times to work out what actually happened. Please give serious consideration to using actual sentences. Moving on, the floor's decision strikes me as a strange one. The action you've described certainly doesn't fall into any of the standard categories for declaring a hand dead (see [URL="http://www.homepokertourney.com/roberts-rules-of-poker.htm#DEAD_HANDS"]Robert's Rules section 3, Dead Hands[/URL]). After a quick scan through I can't find any sections of Robert's Rules that deal specifically with the situation but usually you'd expect the cards to play and for a penalty (if required) to be imposed after the hand is completed. It's your responsibility to ensure that your cards aren't revealed. [URL="http://www.homepokertourney.com/roberts-rules-of-poker.htm#IRREGULARITIES"]Section 3, Irregularities, Rule 12 of Robert's Rules[/URL] specifically says that a card flashed by a player will play. I believe that rule is intended for someone who deliberately shows one of their cards to the whole table, as opposed to your situation where you negligently showed your cards to one player, but it could be applied. The only thing I can suggest is that there's a house rule at this particular casino that goes against the normal rules, or that you've fallen afoul of poker's number one rule: [INDENT]1. Management reserves the right to make decisions in the spirit of fairness, even if a strict interpretation of the rules may indicate a different ruling.[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
