Can I have a ruling here? Exposing your cards

[MrMojoRisin]

Cash game. Two left in the pot. I had A,10 on a 2,2,10 flop. I was first to act and bet out, then the other player re-raised over the top. I thought for a while then asked him if he had the 2. He said yes and turned his 2 over. So what’s the ruling in this situation?

Would like to know what the ruling for the same incident would be in a tournament too.

According to the rules where I play, a player is allowed to expose his cards. If he does so though he is held to make no action for the rest of the hand (ie check and call, he can't bet or raise)


In this situation its particularly stupid to expose the 2 as you can now pass firstly, and secondly even if you don't he can't maximise his profit down the streets

If a TD/Cardroom supervisor deems it to be softplay...a mate telling his friend to pass in effect, he can disqualify player etc

You don't say if you knew your foe

he exposed one...actually that is allowed..there's no rule against it other then it being stupid. If it is your mate and you are at a table full of strangers it is soft play and he would lose the pot or from a tourney be disqualified. (or atleast should be)

I have done it myself (though never actually showing the 2..but showing the kicker)...that works to get more chips off you though...showing the two itsself is just stupid.
