I remember this coming up a couple of years ago when a player, who was all in pre-flop was asked how strong he was, he replied he had AA, villian called and hero turned over his AA and his hand was ruled dead because he told the truth about his holding.
I remember there was a big "furore" about this ruling at the time, and Im wondering if the ruling on this situation has been firmed up in the intervening years? Most of the "furore" was because people reckoned villian was angle shooting as he had KK and when he called the all-in, he knew he was good because if villian had AA, he could call floor and get his hand ruled dead, and if he didnt have AA, then he was big fav. And he did call for the floor as soon as he saw the heros AA. Anyway, thats a different matter. On to the current one:
This happened at a game the other night (not in the club, but one of my players was playing on the table so he was asking me about it tonight).
Board is reading 6-8-10-K-A with no flush. Player A bets, player b shoves all-in. Player A is contemplating his decision and starts talking to player b. Player b tells player A he has 7-9 and that he's not joking. Player A has a set and eventually calls the all-in. Player b turns over 7-9.
Is there a penalty due to player b for this? If so, what is the penalty.
If that old ruling was still in force, player b's 7-9 would be mucked as he told the truth about his holding and player A would be awarded the pot.
Im just interested in what is the up to date ruling on this type of situation.
