another "Who is DN talking about" - Page 2 - Poker News

if you show 1 card, you need to flip over second one, imo.

so you cant just flip your ace of hearts, and keep your 3 of clubs mucked. dealer will make you show both, imo.

DN says the rule is to prevent "needeling", imo.

This needs complete clarification. Hardly anyone has a problem with showing one card after the hand, as above. I don't have a problem with it. That is a silly rule.

But DN also wants to show cards during a hand. When he says "everyone agrees with me on this", he means the first (after the hand) case, however he often seems to be implying (inadvertently perhaps) that everyone agrees about the second (during the hand) case, which they (we) most definitely do not.

Yeah. The after-the-hand rule is clearly ******ed though. And I'm pretty sure it originated from someone misinterpretting the phrase "show-one-show-all" to mean "show one card, show all cards" when it initially meant "show one player, show all players".

I don't understand how anyone can think showing a card during a hand in tournament poker should be allowed.

Results of a hand affect everyone, not just the players in the hand, so the amount and type of information available to players in a hand should be as consistent as possible.

And if a hand goes to "show"down, we should have the tournament director come over, check the hands and say who got the best hand, without showing it.

Your analogy is broken.
