And like Kat said, it was a game where the rules were strictly followed, to a "T". So, the guy muffed up. I personally don't see what all the hollabaloo is about. I'm confident that KK is not the tight-arse type. She was just playing at that particular game the way that all played it. There was no room for error.
She did say that at their regular game, she would have let him play it. I for one would love to sit at a table with the Kat and learn a thing or too.

Because you were there and you saw it all, right!!!!!!!!!
Jessie, yes he was a well seasoned player.

Good point JB, but from what i have read it seems like Pocket Rocket man just got himself all worked up.
I am pretty sure if he was new to the scene the smoking cat would of shown mercy and hit trips on the flop.

Hmmmmm, what a muddled mess. Well, the cards hitting the muck pile is technically a fold, and, yes, you would be justified in that case. Maybe I'm too soft, because I'd let him play his hand, after telling him his mistake. Question though; was he a newbie or a seasoned player? That answer makes a HUGE difference (in my mind anyway).

If in-fact your opponent turned over his cards in the middle of the table and touched any mucked cards without announcing his intentions or moving chips then the hand is considered mucked.
You acted within the rules and it seems everybody else present including the mis-fortunate soul ( lol ) were in agreement.
Anything you may wish to do after the game has ended to cheer up your opponent is entirely your business.
It appears to be a regular game, so everybody their knows the score.

Deep inside you know he had zero intention of folding. And, where the "muck" is on the table is argued about all the time.
So technically you may have been right, on this occassion, but I doubt it was a good longterm play.
Good luck all,

Well Bill,
To be totally honest this wasnt our regular game (play here about once a month) , these guys had been pickly with the rules all evening, folding you hand for example if you wernt at your seat, even if you were 3 steps away from re-joining your seat.

This was unclear previously (I believe others were unaware of this too, looking at some of the posts).
Of course, once the cards hit the muck they are dead.
I still agree with Bill to an extent though.

Chris,
Next time you are playing a live game, try flipping your cards up into the middle of the muck pile, without announcing your intention. And see how far youll get.
Just as an experiment of course.

22. Showing cards from a live hand during the action injures the rights of other players still competing in an event, who wish to see contestants eliminated. A player in a multihanded pot may not show any cards during a deal. Heads-up, a player may not show any cards unless the event has only two remaining players, or is winner-take-all. If a player deliberately shows a card, the player may be penalized (but his hand will not be ruled dead). Verbally stating one’s hand during the play may be penalized.
As I said, not a fold, and not really "using the rules to your advantage" either.

At least think about what you are typing when you reply. Going all in in the SB with JJ is a good play, it could even be contrued as an overplay but what the hell.
My understanding is that you can flip your card to get a reaction ONLY if there are no other plays to be made in the hand i.e. all the players are all in, in which case you would only do this to get a reaction on whether or not your hand is in front and whether to call or not
But in this case, you have no advantage by doing this with AA. It sounds like the guy made a mistake and if you throw your cards in the muck? Its gotta be construed as a fold
Why would he do that? Probably wasnt concentrating or he got so excited by his hand he just l... | | Read Entire Entry |

To Fish
YES he flipped his cards into the center of the table where the other cards had been mucked.
2) Yes I did deserve to win that hand, why not? How dear you come on here and accuse me of cheating to cover up bad play. What bad play did I do? I pushed all in heads up with JJ. Where’s the poor play in that... Why do think I should have folded JJ or something.
You are ery quick to come on to this thread and fire around accusations when obviously you don’t know what you are talking about. With your two sentence remarks. Now that’s what I call poor.

He probably flipped them over to get a read on you. But then again, why try to get a read on someone when you have the best starting hand preflop? Or for that matter, why would he fold?!!!

Yeah right, the West Coast Assasin cutting someone a break instead of their throat. As to the question at hand, if I am playing a $50 freezeout the rules have to be enforced, totally agree KK.

i remember Doyle B saying that if he's faced with a tough call when he has AA, he will flip it upwards on the table to spark some kind of reaction to the other player to get a tell.
Is it illegal to flip em or not?

We were playing a $50 freezout earlier tonight and it was down to the heads up stage.
Both stack were ery even, i went all in from the SB, with JJ. Now here is where it went interesting. The guy in the BB flips over AA in the center of the table without announcing anything. Now i start laughing, and say thanks for folding that, and take the chips, now everyone else is laughing as well, and agreed that he actually had folded.
What do you think, i feel that this was correct as he never announced CALL !!!!!!!!!!!
