CARBON POKER :If I click the 'Rabbit'...

button what does it do?

#2 15th September 2008, 4:49 PM

it shows your cards and runs the table cards out so everyone can see what would have happened

#3 15th September 2008, 4:52 PM

That's got to be the worst "feature" I've ever heard of. The people who want to see the next card should have to PAY for the privilege. I would think this would cost good players $$.

Is this available all the time and on all tables at Carbon?

#4 15th September 2008, 4:54 PM

Its always available but only to the winner of the hand.

Im not sure I agree 100%. It isnt much different than showing a bluff, and can spur players into playing bad cards if they see there cards would have hit, on the same note it can just as well prove to them they made the right call, so you could be right. I have used it twice, both times to see if I would have hit my straight flush (no both times) but it was fun to check

I didn't realize only the winner of the hand had the option. I see no problem with it then.

I have always thought "running the rabbit" is evidence of a terrible poker mindset. It is results oriented and of zero actual value.

That said, I am glad when I see players who want to do it (in live games obviously) since it tells me a little about these players.

MY rule is similar to carbon's. But everyone involved to the termination of the hand has to agree to see the cards.

It usually is NOT allowed in public cardrooms. It needlessly slows down the game-- pretty soon you will be running every single hand to the river if you start letting people rabbit hunt.

I don't agree with rabbit hunting, there is no need for it.

#11 16th September 2008, 8:08 PM

I think the online version of the rabbit hole is stupid, because you see immediately.

#12 16th September 2008, 8:12 PM

and remember the rabbit cam shows the winners cards to, some do not know that and coomplain since they made a semi bluff

I don't know what the hell I was trying to get across.

^ this.

I can put up with a lot of stuff when I'm dealing, but being asked to rabbit hunt cards (especially by players who ought to know better) puts me on mega-tilt. It's usually some douchebag that's spent the past two minutes umming and aahing over whether they're going to call with what was obviously a flush draw getting the wrong odds too, so they've already held the game up for no good reason.

Some of them even seem to think it's a good way to show they were serious about the hand

For the love of gawd people, don't be that person. Just muck 'em and move on.

showing your cards in rare situations is one thing - rabbit hunting is quite another

I never knew about the button - And now will be sure Not to hit it...

Thanks

they should make it such that everyone has to agree to do it or at least the people who were involved in the hand. ive never played on carbon but i would think that you would see an awfully large amount of rabbit hunting at the lower levels slowing the game down

#17 15th October 2008, 9:18 AM

I'll use the rabbit option avail on Merge poker sites in a couple of instances. The first is when I am in the big blind and everyone folds to me. I like to rabbit for the entertainment factor. The second instance is when I want to show my cards for whatever reason I have. The random card generator presents a hand that may or may not have occurred had the play continued one card at a time. So I not only get to drive someone to tilt by occasionally showing a bluff with the rabbit option, but when they see a hand come up that would have helped them, it tends to push them even more on tilt.

The new electronic tables at Excalibur have an option where anyone can rabbit hunt at the press of a button - for a $0.50 fee to the house, of course

The only reason I don't like it in live games is that it slows the game up.Don't get enough hands but I don't know if it is a terrible poker mindset. I've seen some real good players ask for the rabbit hunt. I've seen some bad players ask to rabbit hunt. I don't know what it truly accomplishes when you think about it the hand is over and nothing changes. There is a new shuffle and that hand was in the past.

i like the rabbit to show a bluff can get some players on tilt or could actually end up with good cards next time lol

#22 20th October 2008, 10:14 PM

The fact that the winner has this option is totally irrelevant in making other players think "crap I would''a won". The "shuffle" on the merge network is constant, so the outcome of a "rabbit" changes depending on how long the winner takes to select it. The winner can show his cards if everyone folds anyway, de-select auto muck, you can show one or both hole cards.
