What Would You Do If This Happened to You?

It was over the line. However he was folding. He should be punished but i dont think banned fits the crime. Maybe sit out a few bb. He was folding so does not make a difference. If anything it might help the woamn player. He know she ll shive with AA. So maybe she get a spot to shove weather she has AA or not he might think she does and fold.

After such an escapade, he must marry her !!
And no longer play poker)

Definitely be disqualified. He looked nervous and like he was going to lose, maybe that's why he looked at her cards. I hope that was the manager that called him. I would've told him to take his winnings and leave.

I will leave here the link of a video in which an Argentine professional poker player sees the cards to his rival when she got up from the table and this excuse this by saying that he saw them because he was not going to pay and That you should not leave the cards on the table, my question is what would you do if someone did this in a tournament? I would certainly give him a big punch in the face! Jugador profesional de poker mira las cartas de un rival - YouTube

In the current situation, such situations are unlikely, but if it happened someday, it's unlikely that I would restrain myself from having a good swindle organized by a scoundrel! It's not beautiful and not like a man!

Was disqualified

It looks you know the answer.
professional poker player? I wonder how much he have won by such style. According to tells he wanted to fold though.

He is cheating, but must be a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic not to realize he was on camera. He must be disqualified and in addition given a lengthy ban on entering other tournaments.

 

[VizziVizo]

He can't do it, no way. e should be disqualified or pay the penalty .

 

[Fabian Boudgoust]

that caught me by suprise

 

[ftn129]

I WOULD pinch him very hard!!!

........ excuse this by saying that he saw them because he was not going to pay and That you should not leave the cards on the table,........

And the Richard Nixon Lame Excuse Award goes to.......
Even if he was really not paying anyway, it is her decision to show her cards after he folds or to muck them. Even if he first folds and then picks up her cards, it is against the rules.

Of course in an organized tournament the player will just be disqualified and its all good. But in an informal cash game if something like this would happen, things could get out of control real fast.

 

[crazyjess]

He should be disqualified on the spot. His chips should remain on the tables for blind purposes.

I agree, i cannot believe he did that. I don't know what happened when he left the table, if he got disqualified or not. I hope he did. At least now everyone knows he's a cheat.

LOL live games are quite different. In well-organized tournaments this could lead to a great elimination of the player who left the cards. But depending on the places you play, this often happens. Especially in places frequented by bullies and people not so friendly

 

[meaticus]

I can safely say I have never seen this happen before in my year of playing and this is totally out of line and ridiculous. potentially should be blinded out and or qualified an leave it in the hands of the floor for a further punishment of playing in the poker room there. Complete disrespect and if he is to do it once what makes you think he wont do it again?

 

[Glebtyzhnyh90]

This I have not seen, this is a 100% disqualification of the player, and after the tournament you can still give him a face. Rave.

He's a shameless bastard.
But she too can not leave her cards unattended.
