Turn up your cards to get a read

[Accident]

Can you turn over your cards to get a read on the guy who just raised you in a heads up situation?
Thanx in advance

I read in in Doyle's book, I was just wondering if anyone else remembered reading it in there.

He talks about doing it when the other player has raised you all-in, and you're heads up. You certainly wouldn't do it if the other player had chips with which to play back at you.

Personally, I'd love to have that happen if I have the nuts. My immediate reaction would be, "You fold?" and start reaching for the pot. That would almost have to induce a call. If he says that he didn't fold trying to make me sweat it, I'd go to the floor person and ask for a ruling, and vehemently argue that it should be a folded hand.

Academy Award for sure.

Thanx Sean, thats the clarification I was looking for. We don't have card rooms or casinos here, only home games and turning over your cards in that situation is assumed to mean a fold. The other guy could still run a bluff at you trying to maintain he has a flush or a straight w/my AA showing after I call his raise. It would most likely start a bad arguement at least if the AA won the pot.
THanx,

I have done this in a home game to good effect, it wasn't as spectacular as Sean's Oscar winner but it was good
