    2 players left in the hand, on the river Player A bets, Player B is thinking about it and says something like, "i think im going to have to call you", Player A then announces he has a straight, Player B mucks and Player A turns over his cards to show complete air. Should Player A face any sanctions?

        I think he's saying he shouldn't face sanctions.

        Hellmuth would start telling you about etiquette in this spot.

          He shouldn't face a sanction. Thread title and OP question are very different

              Cards speak. You can say what you like but it's the cards that count. Player B should 1) Not have mucked until Player A's hand was tabled and 2) Given him a good smack after.

                Has player B called? Its a bit unclear in the OP. If not then its just speech play, if he has actually called then the relevant TDA rule is:

                12: Declarations. Cards Speak at Showdown
                Cards speak to determine the winner. Verbal declarations of hand value are not binding at showdown
                but deliberately miscalling a hand may be penalized. Any player in the hand or not, should speak up if
                he thinks a mistake is being made in reading hands or awarding the pot.

                What this means in practice is that most TDs who are aware of the rule will warn the player who deliberately miscalled his hand, but won't kill his hand the first time it occurs.

                This is all assuming wherever this happens follows the TDA rules.

                  I think it's quite clear he hadn't. If he had, then a proper lynching of 'player a' would be entirely justifiable.

                    Player A gets the pot and a penalty. Player B learns a lesson

                    I was in a situation like this a few months ago in a game in cork. I would have been player B and player a misdeclared his hand. I know this guy years and definitely just misread his hand. Dealer called floor on guy but I was just trying to tell him to award pot as I didn't have cards. T.d gave options to player A if he wanted the pot and he didn't want it and I got awarded it. Was fairly tilted at myself at mucking anyway. Should just stick to dealing

                      I understood it that player B hadn't called. But it's not completely clear either.

                      If that's the case, and player B wanted to fold without putting money in. Then I don't see what he has to complain about.
                      Obviously completely different if he was following through with the call and had the intention of paying.

                        I'm assuming he called or whats the point of the thread?

                        Some guy's speechplay to get a fold?

                              I thought he called too

                                Yeah its fine.

                                In your op you described a player as mucking, when you meant folding. Typically people refer to mucking as discarding a losing hand at showdown. Thats what led to the confusion in the answers.

                                  this is still going i read it as he never called hence the " im going to call ".

                                  rule changes from place to place but if that guy actually had a straight he could be open to a sanction.

                                  he told the guy what his hand was and let him fold. possible collusion.

                                  but as you say the action went no sanction just another smart arse.

                                      You fold to a bet, you muck during showdown (typically having seen a better hand)

                                          Did you mean "induce a fold" otherwise this bit makes no sense?

                                                It's not misannouncing his hand if the other player never put money into the pot.
                                                So either they both broke rules, or none of them did.

                                                So if you want to give A a warning, you have to take the call chips off B and award them to A as the last player left

                                                  Why would you give a penalty here Liam? A is clearly "trash talking" trying to induce a fold. The hand doesn't get to showdown. If A had mucked, no one would know any different.

                                                    Considering he hadn't called this is basically just speech play in a heads up pot. No penalty(well there is a debate going on about the kassouf thing at the wsop)
