Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 1295086, member: 23910"] The standard counter argument is that you're giving that player information [I]during[/I] the play of the hand that the other players didn't have and if they had've had that information they may have acted differently - so tournament directors treat it kinda like collusion or soft playing. Whether they're right or wrong about that is another issue entirely. Plus like I said above, for every smart player who understands the "not until heads up" bit there'll be a dozen donkeys who don't get it and show a card whenever they feel like it which would be super bad for the game. So a "never show anything until the hand is over" rule is both easier to understand and easier to enforce. [/QUOTE]
