Exposed card -- rule question

[tulsa]

In a Texas Hold'em No Limit home game, all but two of the players fold prior to the flop. After the flop, one of the two remaining players inadvertantly flashes one of his two cards. The exposed card is quickly covered up. The only other player still in the hand does NOT see the card ... but some of the players who have already folded DO see the card. The player that is still in the game insists he is now entitled to see the card that was accidently turned over because it had been seen by players who were out of the hand. What is the "official" rule in this situation? Does the card have to be turned over for everyone to see if the card was only seen by players out of the hand? Are there posted "official" rules somewhere online that I can access to find this answer? Thanks.

Not sure on the official rules, but every uk casino i've played in, has a show-all policy, where if one person see's the card, everyone else is allowed to aswell, whether they're in the hand or not.

6. Show one, show all. Players are entitled to receive equal access to information about the contents of another player’s hand. After a deal, if cards are shown to another player, every player at the table has a right to see those cards. During a deal, cards that were shown to an active player who might have a further wagering decision on that betting round must immediately be shown to all the other players. If the player who saw the cards is not involved in the deal, or cannot use the information in wagering, the information should be withheld until the betting is over, so it does not affect the normal outcome of the deal. Cards shown to a person who has no more wagering decisions on that betting round, but might use the information on a later betting round, should be shown to the other players at the conclusion of that betting round. If only a portion of the hand has been shown, there is no requirement to show any of the unseen cards. The shown cards are treated as given in the preceding part of this rule.

Good luck, have fun.

Above is what I was going to say. The guy who didn't see it should be shown the card but only AFTER the hand is over. The people who DID see the card are not in the hand, thus the guy who didn't see it is not at a disadvantage. Once the hand is over, that card should be shown to the guy that missed it so he can use it for later hands as those who already saw it would.

Thank-you.

I thought that if you show a card your hand is folded.

Guess I was wrong!
