I know it's a bit controversial, but personally I think it is disgusting. Encouraging "rabbit-hunters" to finish the flop. What are they trying to promote here ? Tikay, anyone ?  |

I'm with Karabiner here. They will all wanna do it in the Casinos now.
And the bizarre thing is, HOW DOES IT HELP TO KNOW WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN???
Talk about dumbing down.......I mean, if they were Americans, with their limited intelligence, you could understand it.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

I can say that unless you pay to see the remaining cards. Ie: CALL, then no you won't see the remaining cards. Plus the all triumphing TDA rules, state No Rabbit hunting will be permitted.
Or at least it's the case in Blackpool.

I've witnessed it hundreds of times and never known it refused, is this one of the rule changes that haven't filtered down or just a local thingy?

It's never been a "rule" as such, just not a "done" thng.
The point is, what benefit accrues to anyone to know what might have been? It wastes time, causes arguments, & is quite simply out of order. It is wasting the time of 10 folks (assuming a dealer....) on that table
I don't think we need to go overboard about it, but I'd hang the idiots who try & do it. By their goolies.

I wouldn't have a clue. I'm presuming all the Grosvenors operate with this rule. Y should they b allowed to see the cards?  ?? Might as well disclose everyones hands whilst we r at it? ?? If it was so important to see them i'm sure they would show em. Yogi |

Woah there, i have no real opinion of it personally.
I see no reason for or against really.
Wasting time? a second or 2
Arguments? more like frustration for the asker.
But i ain't debating it just curious as to yet another inconsitancy.
Yogi, the way you said it was like it was a rule, as for everyones cards there's no point, folks wanna see the river or remaining cards to see if they made the right decision as i said it really only frustrates/relieves the asker.
Much the same thing as when you fold 7 2 off only to see 772 on the flop!

I always tell them that the cowboys used to say that "there's no point looking up a dead horse's arse" And they all look "gone out" at me ! |

No point looking up a dead horses arse? I guess that's by the same author as "if you see a weasel sleeping, piss in it's ear".
