Only just came across this forum, havent played much in about 6 years and looking to get back into the game, but this came to mind when I found this section of the forum.
Played in a charity holdem tournament a (good) few years back in Belfast and got to the final table when the following happened. Just wondering if the dealer was right.
I had A10s and was in to a flop after a min raise and three calls (think i might have been second to act but not sure) and the flop came K J Q rainbow, can't remember exactly what happened but one guy ends up all in on the flop but the three other bigger stacks don't, (probably poor play by me). Turn comes 10d and I end up all in but again the two biggest stacks just call. River comes another Jack. And the two remaining stacks end up all end (or one of them does you know what I mean).
First guy turns over AK for the straight. I then turn over just my Ace and say my other card doesn't play as its a 10. The dealer (who i should say was a pro dealer) says your hand is dead as you have refused to show both cards. Which I hadnt but might have as my other card didn't play and she was being quite rude. In the end it made no difference as the biggest stack turned over pocket queens for the house.
Got me wondering though if I am calling am I obligated to show both cards for my hand to count even if one of them doesn't play? I presume I am to avoid collusion but the dealer said it was in accordance with the show one show all rule which i thought meant you werent allowed to show one player your hand without showing the whole table.
