Were there special rules for that tourney? Or, heads up, is it okay to show your cards? | I think one of the announcers mentioned that it was legal in that heads up tourney to show your cards. Normally it would be a penalty, from what I remember. And is ok in a cash game?
Occasionally a player in our games will show a card or two, but we make sure that they are heads up with the other person before they are allowed to do it. I did a little searching to find out not long ago since one person claimed it was an automatic fold if cards were shown, but I didn't think it was.

From what I understand, it's OK in cash games (as are many other goofy things as we're seeing on HSP).
In tourneys you can't show your cards. Your hand is supposed to be killed if you expose one or both cards. |

Ring game - it's okay to show cards if only 2 players remain in the hand
Tourney: it's only allowed when the tournament is down to the final 2 players.
(That's if you go by Robert Rules) |

I've never seen it done BY the all-in guy, but I've seen it done by the player making the decision.....
and I can't see a problem with that....

It wasn't until sometime in the 80s, that you couldn't show your cards in tourneys. The old Texans used to push all in, then slap two nines down on the table with tons of overs on the board. Then they'd taunt the guy they knew wasn't calling. |

I don't allow it at my games. |

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you're allowed to show in tournaments if the table is two-handed (down to heads up). I think I saw this happen once or twice in the Heads-Up Championship. |

heads-up tourney on NBC had special rules, you could show your hand at any point in the action.

Well, if you can't expose your hand in a tourney, does that mean that if you do, your hand is ruled dead immediately?

Since each headsup match only consists of two players anyway, showing your hand should be allowed. |
