That varies from room to room, it's a house rule. In cash games. As MOJO said, always a violation in a tournament.

Assuming that's what you're asking, I'd complain to the floor but I know full well that it's going no where.

My rule is: stare at the board and not at your opponent's cards.

You make a large river bet and only B1 is in the hand. B2 Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817046099646546543noreply@blogger.com
