Subject: Tourney Protocol: Showing Cards at WPT Events
|
At my home game we play mostly cash but do freeze outs on occasion.
For NLHE cash games we let people show cards during play, same with
freeze out, to get a fold or call, whatever the read is.
I'm considering playing the WTP in San Jose next month and am
wondering what the card showing rules are? Are you out there Matt
Savage? Not the show one show all bullshit I hope.
It's a deep stack bounty game, looks like fun!

If we were alone in the room I would agree. But since we are not you
are an imbecile. I blocked you on IM because you kept begging for
money. That bores me. Other than that you are a funny guy, So get over

I never begged for money, you worthless sack of shit, I asked for a stake
- maybe a FEW TIMES at most. Speaking of boring, you IMing every goddamn
day with "Homo say what" and "hey did you just fuck my dead mother" got
really fucking boring really fast. You had the right idea to block me; I'm
sorry I repaid you that $3.30 and the excess of $1.70 because you seemed
to think that it was okay to unblock me. At least you stopped IMing me
every day; that's an improvement.

One bet I'm willing to make is that Dan Porche is the richest regular
poster on RGP. Not cheap. Fun to talk with, plus I know he does many
people favors. And the answer is NO. I don't owe Dan any money. He did
sign up as one of my first members on www.pokermafia.com for $250,
plus took lessons from me. And we started at $30-$60. Dreamclown and
company, paid the $500 an hour for STUD lessons, all variations. We
started at $100-$200 and I took no percentage of the win or loss. They
turned a hefty profit even after lessons. Well into the thousands
after expenses.
I gave lessons numerous times to this party. That's one reason he
challenged Daniel to play $500-$1,000 stud 8. Where he used to walk on
Stud 8, it's now the best game he can play. Was/ maybe still a regular
in the big Eastern mix games. Asked numerous people who was the best
stud 8 player and found me.
The stud high games they had on the Crypto sites went as high as
basically $40-$80. THe game was in English pounds when the pound was
worth more than $1.90. Four games going was very common and one player
lost over $2,000,000 in a year playing the game. He went by the name
Stylesh.
I BROKE the GAME, just as I broke Planets stud 8 game. Yes, I had a
couple of dozen accounts for that game alone. One of these days I may
treat you to the chat about my accounts by players. Ladbroke's didn't
allow US players, but I was privy to the chat:) and the accounts of
the Overseas players.
If you think playing 4 $40-$80 games isn't that high, it's basically
like playing $150-$300 without as great a variance. Plus, Crypto sites
had something other sites didn't have, unlimited raising heads-up. I
went close to 20 bets on the river with a guy with a cince. Going 10
bets was nothing unusual

If a rocket scientist and a mental retard are sitting in a room together
with a stinky log of shit, they would both agree it smells bad. Think

That isn't "show one, show all" and I'm pretty sure you can show one
card when you fold (and it ends the hand, of course) or when you win
an uncontested pot. If you can't, people were breaking that rule in
several tournaments I saw or played lately. Showing a card to an
opponent who still had a decision to make seems more like what the OP
is talking about. If you have to show both of them then that makes it
even dumber than it normally would be. But I thought he was talking
about that widely-touted move of showing your hand to get a reaction
from an all-in opponent.

==========================
It does seem, in this thread, rules often called "show one [card], show both
[cards]" and "show one [person], show all [players]" have been mixed up as
well as confusion as to whether these rules are applied differently in
tournaments and in cash games and whether they are applied consistently and
also whether they even exist and, certainly, why they might have come about
and several other confusions.

I was talking about your comment about the purpose of the rule(s) about
showing cards.
You're missing the point because you insist on trying to see a logical
connection between the rule and the thing that caused the rule to be
implemented. Tournament directors aren't smart enough to require a
logical connection between reality and rules.
Playing teams used to openly flash cards among the team members. So TD's
made some silly rules, most of which didn't actually address the problems
that caused the rules.

OP was talking about a rule that came up a year ago or so that was talked
about by Negreanu where if you show 1 of your hole cards you have to show
both of them. DN didn't like it because he likes to show just a single
card in certain cases.

That's the origin of "show one, show all," I'm sure. It doesn't have
anything to do with showing an _opponent_ who is all-in your cards to
get a reaction so as to know whether to call him.

We were subtler than that. Often there were four of us cheating only one or
two persons at the table. We placed our cards in positions that signaled our
down cards to the other cheats. And this was done in the casino. It's
probably still done today.

For some reason I never understood, the same players who would cheat
subtly in cash games would cheat flagrantly and openly in tournaments.
This was in the 80's.

I'm not going to argue with you, but you completely missed the point.

Wouldn't it be neat if just ONE person thought you are as awesome as you
think you are?

"Show one show all" has nothing to do with the situation you describe.
Showing your cards to your opponent when he is already all-in and you
have a decision to make, to get a reaction, is not permitted in
tournaments these days. I don't why, since the "don't look" defense
works perfectly against it. Showing a card while your _opponent_ still
has a decision to make is stupid and you should be allowed to do it
freely but I don't think you are. Probably part of the "protect morons
from themselves" rule.
"Show one show all" is about showing cards when you have folded or
everyone has folded and you win the pot. You cannot show your cards to
one or two opponents. You can just not show them or you can show them
to everyone. It isn't bullshit; it's the rules.

There was a lively thread a year ago or so about having to show both cards
to everyone when only one was desired to be shown. The "show one show all"
nomenclature confused everyone there, too.

Not at all.
Early in tournament development players would show a card to a partner so
that the partner could give them an indication of what they should do.
Partners would openly cheat by showing each other cards when they had a
decision to make.
So they made a rule that says, "only subtle forms of cheating are allowed".
Russ can explain it.

Right, I was speaking of only showing one card not one person, my mistake.
In the cash games I have played in Northern California they generally
don't give a shit what you do about showing cards during play. WTP
probably has a page or two of rules?

Only one WPT rule I want to know. If I am the chip leader will Amanda
interview me sitting on my lap like she did with Chino? If not, showing
cards is just a bad damn habit.
