Within the ordinary social bounds of decency, nothing is off-limits as a topic of friendly chat at the poker table — with one exception: you may not talk about the hand in progress.
Do you show your cards if you go all in?
In a cash game, you don’t have to show. It is acceptable for a user to not show, wait for the river and then choose to reveal or muck their cards. That’s perfectly acceptable etiquette. In case of both players not wanting to show, the last aggressor is usually required to go first.
When do you Show Your Hand at a poker table?
Having said that, some of you will feel embarrassed with your holdings and not want to show them to the rest of the table. Fair enough, so let’s go over the rules and etiquette for who shows their hand first. If, after the river card has been dealt the person who makes the last bet or raise is the one required to show his hand first.
What to do when your hand is declared dead in a poker game?
It is up to the players to protect their cards at all times. Place your hands or a chip on top of your cards. If another player’s cards mix with yours when they throw in their cards your hand will be declared dead. You will see some players bring a special weight or “Lucky Charm” to place over their pocket cards.
What happens if you call out a better hand in poker?
Don’t immediately throw in your cards if someone calls out a better hand. The dealer will declare the winner of the hand. Sometimes you may have a better hand than you thought you had. There is also the possibility that the player calling his winning hand has misread his own hand.
What does it mean to have 2 cards exposed in poker?
