Who shows first?

[taximan007]

According to the general rules/etiquette in poker who would be expected to show their cards first ?

After the river card 2 players are left in.

A) Player A checks, Player B checks.

B) Player A goes all in, Player B calls.

C) Player A bets minimum bet, Player B raises all in, Player A calls.

Would the showdowns be exactly the same for both tournament play and cash games ?

does it really matter?

No not at all, my apologies for posting such an inane question.

A) Clockwise from button
B) Player A
C) Player B

It is from the last aggressive action or if you believe you have the winning hand, table it.

Thank You

Agree with Dik

UNLESS either player A or Player B has the nuts (not very likely in case a) - considered slowroll if you get the other person to show first, THEN show the nuts.

Actually yes it does.....all information is information. If I have the right to see a players hand during a comp I always without exception ask to see it. You have already been given the answer

I'm not really a live player but that's horrible etiquette isn't it?

Perhaps you should read "Elements of Poker"

In 20 years of poker I don't recall ever asking to see a losing hand when I have won the pot. I dont think it's nice to rub the loser's nose it. (I consider it bad etiquette)

Probably right mate but there you go......if it is their turn to show then I want to see

[Laxie]

Afraid I'm asking to see a lot of the time too.  Especially if my opponent is an aggressive player.  In my limited experience, I've found that it slows them down a bit in future hands if they're made to show.

down my local they ask after every showdown as routine, people not in the hand ask as well. The funny thing is that i don't think they have any idea what to do with the info anyway, morons.

I only ask if it is a hand that I am involved in and it is their turn to show......

[Karabiner]

A, A, B, Yes.

It really irritates me that some players, well known players too insist on showing last whatever.

Karabiner is spot-on there, & that's why Taximan's question is a good one. It's become quite common of late for players who have won a hand, to wait, at Showdown, until they have seen the other hand(s). This is wrong, & improper. Strictly speaking, the A, A, B sequence is correct. Waiting for oppo to turn over, irrespective, is wrong.

The other variation which amuses me greatly is at Showdown, after a big Pot, both players are reluctant to show first, & the convo goes thus.....

"You got the flush then?"

"No - you got trips"

"No, I got two pair"

"Me too - how big?"

And the rest of the table are sat there, thinking, "FFS JUST TURN YOUR CARDS OVER!"

At the £750 event in Luton a couple of weeks ago I saw a free flop in the big blind with 84. The flop brought two eights, and the river brought the case eight. I bet and the other guy called. I immediately said 'there's the other eight' and turned it over. My opponent had a pained expression on his face and mucked. I started raking in my chips.

'What's your other card?' says one of the other players.

I said 'A four, I think', and turn it over. 'Now you know I don't raise limpers out of the big blind with 84 and I'll probably value bet quads on the river'.
