Rule 17 change - showdown order

[Dave Miller]

One of my local casinos, Wind Creek (formerly Sands) in Bethlehem, PA, has started using a new rule regarding the showdown. Short, the last aggressor, on any street, is the first to show.

This was in a cash game, and was told they started that just a few months ago. I neglected to ask if they did that in tournaments as well, but have to assume that they do.

Has there been any discussion to change the rule? Does anybody here do it that way already?

I always preferrred the last act of aggression on the last street to show first. That would include a check on the last betting round. In other words, the first player to act by checking, followed by everyone checking, would be required to show first at showdown. Is that a TDA rule? I'm not certain.

TDA Rule 17A is as you describe it.

I want to know if there’s any talk about changing it to last aggressor on ANY street.
