| Odd rules in my local poker room for tournies. Thoughts? For the last 2, maybe 3 months, my local casino has adopted some curious rules for their tourneys.....Curious as to what you all think. Here we go 1. Folding out of turn incurs a penalty..this will be a warning, then one hand, three hands, and finally a full round penalty. 2. Exposing your cards with action pending...this is an automatic one hand penalty escalating to a full round. 3. Hiding your cards on purpose or on accident so others cannot see them...warning, then escalation up to one round. I have not ran across this in any other room. |

| Yeah it does seem pretty standard, just trying to keep regulation and keep the game in order. ...I am curious about rule #3 though, the only thing I can think of is a 7 card stud game or something, where you are hiding your cards that are face up and stopping your opponents from seeing them? If it's not that then I'm nort exactly sure what it means... |

| re: #3, there are players (anglers) who will hide their cards on purpose so that they can fool players behind them into acting out of turn. Which gives the angler an advantage by knowing what they will do before the angler acts on their hand. |

Kornholio was spot on as for the reason for this rule. tbh, the rules are fine with me....it just makes me more aware during play. |
