So it would seem not a rule violation since it didn't induce action (although clearly almost did).Your hand is declared dead if:
(a) You fold or announce that you are folding when facing a bet or a raise.
(b) You throw your hand away in a forward motion causing another player to act behind you (even if not facing a bet).
...other cases deleted....
Some 'Set' mining right there ;-)I'll watch when she moves the microphone...
Should have offered him deodorantI have been playing the Barcelona EPT for 10 years and it is getting worse, too much people in the room, the good forms are over and the correct label is now full of rude eating snacks at the tables wearing sandals, even the last sesion I had a fat man next to me not showered to go down to play.
To check if your pocket cards are the same rank and suit and thus the deck is fouled. It's much tougher to undo this after the pot has been added the your stack...Both on TV poker and real-life, I have seen a lot of hands where Player A bets, player B folds, and then Player A LOOKS AT HIS OWN CARDS again before giving them to the dealer. ***WHY***?

What is the impetus to re-look at one's hand After the hand is clearly over? If anyone here does that or knows a good (or bad) reason to do it, I'd be interested in hearing....
Is there a penalty for this type of action? It seems to me that there sure as shit should be, but it doesn’t appear that he was held accountable.
I noticed this trend after watching several poker shows where the pros did it, like High Stakes Poker or Poker After Dark...
Honestly, sometimes I think it was to make sure the lipstick cameras (no RFID back then) could catch the cards one last time for production issues.....but I really noticed Phil Ivey doing it a lot back in the day.....so of course when people see Phil doing it, they (the general poker playing public) all need to do it
This is an interesting question, I have found myself unconsciously re-checking my cards after my opponent has folded. This typically only happens preflop or more marginal spots where my desired outcome is a fold. Nothing has made me re-check my cards though, its just something I started doing inexplicably.When Angleboy pushes his cards in preflop in the video, The AK player, who feels the hand is (about to be) over re-looks at his downcards. My thinking is that AK has made a habit of doing this, Angleboy NOTICED this habit, and Angleboy has put himself in a great physical position to view AK's Hand....
He is:
-slumped to almost card height
-pushed back from the table a bit
-actually LOOKING in that direction as he makes his slimeball maneuver.
This isn't just 1 angle to gauge a reaction, this is a double angle to actually see if he can see the cards as AK is 'relaxed' now that he thinks Angleboy has folded.
And this brings me to my question.
