A question about SS

Don't grill me if this is in the wrong section. I was reading Super System over again and in the No Limit Section I noticed that on pg 466 Doyle say he turned his AA up to see if he could get a reaction. Can you do this in play or only if you going to fold? Just a little confused.........

this all depends on where you are playing.... some places will allow it and some places will not.... but if you turn your cards up in the places that allow it you either can call or fold... you can't raise it based on your opponents reaction

The tactic is used when you're heads up, and your opponent has already moved all-in. It's supposed to evoke a response from your opponent, making it easier to decide whether to call or fold. If the other player still has chips left, or if there are other players in the hand left to act, then the play can't be used.

There have been so many posts on this subject in this forum alone that I can't imagine there's any reasonably educated poker player that isn't aware of it. Any home games I play in forbid this now, mostly because it's obtained "gimmick" status. Most of the people who try this these days don't know what the hell they're looking for anyway.

I was just wondering about that i wasn't planning on it even though i recieved clarification on it now thanks to Sean_in_NJ. Maybe once I improve my game I might test it out in my home games. thanks for the clarification guys Smile
