showing cards at showdown

(1/2) > >>

W0lfster:
Yes! Im the first to post for cash games!!! :D Just want to ask, what is the ruling on showing cards at the showdown, can you show one in a cash game and still win the pot, I know in a tournament you can.

Also can someone please explain the moving button rule, I find it very confusing.
Thx  ;)

Andy,
 If you bet and there are no callers, then I guess if you want to show one card you can. However, if any player calls you must show all of your hole cards. I would insist on this whether cash or tournament. The main concern is that the player is holding the correct number of cards, not just to see his "kicker."
 The moving button rule is explained on another post. See if you can find it. If not, we can go over it again.

If you enter "Moving Button" in the search box above you will find a couple posts that explain that subject.

W0lfster:
kl kl, thank you. May I ask also in both tournaments and cash games if you are in a hand and you leave the table and request you are really desperate for the toilet will the request be honoured? By this I mean, will the dealer wait and not muck your hand, or muck as soon as you get up?

Cash Game Rules are different than Tournaments, for Cash Game you need to check the local House rules.  There is no "Clock" in a Cash Game, so I suppose if nobody objects you could 'suspend' the hand.  I gave you a link to RROP, version 11 the other day, you can look it up as well as can any of us for specifics.

Tournaments are different.  There is a clock and it would be unfair to suspend play at a single table while other tables continued to play.  Furthermore, TDA Rule 23, "A player must remain at the table if he has a live hand.", requires a player to remain physically present.

Personally, if you were to get up and leave, I would leave your cards at your seat UNTIL it was your turn to act.  If you were not "in your seat", when it is your turn, I would muck your cards and your hand would be dead.  By "in your seat" I mean that you have to be close enough to physically touch the chair, running back and shouting "I'm coming" or something similar doesn't cut it and your hand would be mucked.
