Show one show all
« on: June 04, 2014, 11:03:53 AM »
Hi all, this incident happened on a NLHD cash game table with blinds ( 2$ / 5$ ), 2 playes heads-up ,after betting the flop & turn
 & checking the river, the board cards are ( 5 Q J K 1).
 player A tabled his hand with (1, 9),player B  show his card to the player next to him without opening them & throw them in front of the dealer face down,this is when the dealer turned his 2 cards face up ( implimenting the rules,show one , show all ) & muck them quickly .player B had ( Q ,10 ) with a nuts straight .
Then the dealer awarded the pot to player A with pair of aces ,without noticing the straight of the player B , one of the players at the table interfere by telling the dealer that player B should win the pot with his straight .

- can player B still win the pot  as the dealer turned his card faceup without burning them first.
- player B has his hand dead as he misread the board &  throw his hand intentionally face down toward the dealer.

Hi Alex,

I don't think it is a great idea to have the dealer automatically expose cards in that manner...unless there is a house rule that dictates what will happen in situations like this.  If so, it would depend on your house rules.  If not, I think that it would be a live hand since it never went into the muck.

Alex,

 The dealer should never turn over the mucked hand. The only exception is if the would be winner requests to see it. Cash games go by a completely different set of rules when it comes to mucking cards. I also always believed the; show one show all rule, was meant for showing cards to active players.

Ty tristan & nick for ur quick answers.

Would the situation change if the dealer hold player B card and touch them with the muck then open them?

If so, why making player A pay the dealer mistake by failing to implement  the procedure of mucking the hand before showing it .

What if another player at the table elect to open player B cards , would he still win the hand.?

Don't u think that it's the player responsibility to hold his hand until the showdown & it's his responsibility to read the board if he elect not to table his hand .
Hope I described the situation well.ty

alex,

 I've always preferred the dealer to hold the mucked hand off to the side, award the pot, and them turn the hand if house rules allow. I prefer this method because after the pot has been awarded, there is no pot left to contend. These are formalities that some frown upon. However, in a cash game, players need to use common sense when the showdown takes place.

 Players should never touch another players hand...never.
