Exactly this. It's very easy to mock players for making mistakes, but it's very often the case that a surge of adrenalin clouds our judgement. Posted by Tikay10 So true I remember a hand when from the preflop and flop action I was virtually sure my opponent had a specific pocket pair and I had a bigger pair, I bet the flop and I bet the turn when their set did not arrive. Imagine my horror as the river card gave them their set and they pushed all in. I folded like like lightning and my opponent showed the rivered set, It was only then that I realised that the turn card combined with the river card had given me the nut straight. So what is the ruling here ? fun only as I mucked the hand so only I know. Posted by Sir-Gary
If your cards had been seen your in breach of this rule and could have been punished.
Another interesting question is what if you showed your cards, someone points out your mistake and everyone has a laugh. Dealer sees it as a mistake and moves on but a player asks for rule to be enforced.What happens next ?
