Exposed card and signifcant action?

[RossiesAbu]

Ok so, 2 players to the flop, it's dealt, player A accidently exposes one of his cards, dealer doesnt notice, A bets, called by B, turn card and then player A raises the issue, TD correctly says that A shouldn't be allowed to bet, only call after exposing his card. he then returns the bets on the flop to each player. A however argues that significant action had taken place and bets should remain in the pot. Who is right?

Money in the pot stays in the pot imo

Can’t take money out of the pot.
How did TD (or anyone) know that A’s card was exposed prior to betting on the flop and not after.

Player B pointed it out, Player A accepted that he had exposed it

Well that changes the situation entirely compared to what you said in your OP which is "and then player A raises the issue". So player B actually raised the issue?

You can't take money out of the pot anyway, so TD made a good ruling by saying player A can only call from now on in the hand but TD made a mess of it by fiddling with the pot.

Money stays in the pot, A can only call should be the correct ruling.

Player B pointed it out on the turn. Player A accepted he had exposed his hand. All clear there.
But how does player Player A know he exposed it on the flop? Did B say it was?

Two options come to mind. Either player B seen it and said nothing until the turn. Or Player B is backdating it.

In either case I can’t see why A should be penalised.

Maybe B had seen it and said nothing i dont know. But should A not be penalised for exposing a card?

So B seen the exposed card on the flop. Said nothing, and flat called A. Turn is dealt out then B raises the issue. Whereby A can no longer bet.

B is pretty much angle shooting. Even more so if the turn favoured A. A shouldn’t be on punished because B tried to angleshoot. B was happy to call on the flop. Money stays in the pot.
