Why don't they show the hole cards when 2 or more players are all in? This pertains to the Stars cash games at any level.I have always wanted to know this. They show the hole cards on FTP.So why not on Stars?

That's just the way cash games work. You don't have to show your crads if you don't want to. If you're in a casino they'll never make you show your cards before showdown.

cause they want you to think you have the best hand so you when they flip the opponents cards you go on tilt and give away more money

Not True. Casino windsor makes you show your hand if you're all in or the other person is all in (basically all hands are shown if there is no more betting possible) You can always check the bottom of the HH... it shows what everyone mucked at the bottom if it went to showdown.

You have to get rid of that sig until you fill the whole thing.

im still not sold that many of these people that get these big online scores are winners when it comes to the live game, which, by the way, is real poker.

I understand that most B@M casinos allow you to keep your hole cards private when u are all in, but online, I think it should be different.I'm gonna go tell Lee to change it.

Who cares? Just check the HH after the hand.

I don't really care, but i'm in cash game grinder mode this week and everytime I have someone all in, I would like to know how well my read was on their range and what not. I have been playing on Stars seriously for 3 years. I understand how to check the hand histories.=)

there are programs that will flash the cards for you. PA HUD is one, there are likely others

If there are two things LHE players like, they are weed and pornography. The third would be kittens. LHE does not appear on the list.

Yeah, but they don't flash the cards until about 2 seconds *after* the hand is complete and... <in a whiny voice> I wanna know now!
