Is this legal?

Postby Tanneboy » Sun Apr 29, 2012 10:11 am GMT

I know that this is probably bad ettiquette, but is it illegal?

In a home sit and go, player 1 is all in, and player 2 is the only other player left in the hand. Player 2 has the all in player EASILY dominated in chips.

Before calling or folding, while making his decision, player 2 flips his cards over on the table. Only a minute or 2 later does he decide to call.

Player 1 says that his cards should be mucked.

From what I have seen, it looks like this is something that has occured in the WSOP before, and the hands were both live, but player 1 continued the argument and said that the rules were changed.

What is the current rule in this situation?

It changes from casino to casino country to country, but if you want something a bit more concrete then this may help you out. http://www.wsop.com/poker-games/texas-holdem/rules/

what crack said.

Really since there is no action left beside player 2 calling or folding. I'd say it's Kosher.

I've done it before playing Cash games live in the casino to get a read.
