    Is my hand live?

    In a pot with one other player, he bets flop and turn and i call both times. I have bottom pair and a gutshot, no improvement on river, he checks and i throw my cards in face up saying something like 'Nah,you have me", i certainly didnt say 'fold' though my action would indicate that i was conceding the hand. He shows an over pair and is taking in the pot when i realise i have actually two pair. Pot is awarded to me and he's not happy, is this correct?

        Yeah, it's fine, you did nothing wrong. If fact it's good that you turned them face up. Lots of people just muck there. Better to let the dealer sort it out. NH

            He is trying to angle you. Your cards are live once they are tabled.

              Face up after all action is live.
              Cards speak so you have two pair regardless of what you announced.

                He should be happy that you missed your 2 pair and he did not have to call a massive bet on the river with his overpair!

                  He should smile say nice hand wp sir knowing he will eventually get all your chips
                  because you cant fold bottom pair and then not even realize you rivered 2 pair
                  the ruling is correct

                            If there is no action left on showdown and he says fold and tables the cards face up I was lead to believe they are live as the cards speak, would I be right?

                              A case could be made that if your hand has not touched the muck and are identifiable, depends on if the dealer is on their game and as soon as you say "fold" they bring the cards into the muck, I got caught once when I made a call (had misread my hand) and the player says 9 high and slides his cards into the middle I turn my hand over but only had 6 high he retrieves his cards and was awarded the pot, since then if a player is reluctant to turn over their hand and motion to muck I will ask the dealer to kill that players hand if they haven't already.

                              I do believe though that if a player announces fold then that is that.

                                Nope, your wrong.
                                Cards speak means that if you announce the wrong hand, your actual hand is what counts.
                                When he says fold. His hand is dead regardless of the fact its then turned face up or facedown. The other player hasn't shown his hand at this point btw.

                                  Now I see. Thanks for clearing that up Mellor.

                                    In my case actually he has shown his hand.

                                      I was answering your question about IF you said fold. Makes no difference if he shows in that case. When you say fold he's the last player left, if he then flips a worse hand it makes no difference.
