Rabbit Cams.
Just been playing on a site with rabbit cams.
Personally, I loved them and helped justify tough folds at times and meant I could fold a lot easier and not worry whether it was right or not.
How does anyone else feel about such a prospect being added to the download when it finally arrives?
They also had a fold and show option, but wasnt too keen on that feature.

Making an educated guess at what your opponent has and knowing the odds of what may come justify tough folds.
Just because the river card doesn't make your flush, say, doesn't mean that you were right to fold your hand if you were getting the right pot/implied odds.
P.S. I am assuming that by "rabbit cam" you mean you get to see what the river (and turn) cards would have been even if you fold. If not, apologies. :-)
And yes, they are fun.
Ooh, I hate them!
It's like peeps who muck 7-2 when the Pre-Flop Betting goes 3-bet, 4-bet, 5-bet, & the flop comes 7-7-2, & the guy gets all excited, "I woulda won if I'd called"!
I shared a Table with one such gentleman last night. Every hand "ooh, I woulda won the lot if I'd called".
But seriously, I don't "get" Rabbit Cams. I've seen it in Live Poker, thousands of times, in less well-run establishments. It gets to the River, the guy misses with his A-K, then grabs the burn cards & looks at them - "yes, look, it was one of the burn cards!"
I honestly find it very hard to understand why they would want to do that.
But plenty did, & do, so I guess that makes the case for Rabbit Cams. Each to their own. Me, I just wanna get on with the next hand, consoling myself with what might have been does not tick any boxes for me I'm afraid.
The flop turn and river are all predetermined.
There are sites that constantly shuffle, but Sky is not one of them.
Oooh, I folded 5 3 and would have made a straight flush!!!
NO, you folded 5 3.
But tbh, it is helping me not chase things as much, especially if the odds are not in my favour or very marginal calls.
It also makes me realise how often I actually miss these draws.
I know you can show your winner after everyone else has folded, but not show what you have folded.
You just can't show hands that you fold.
I always enable "Muck or Show".
It's called The Orford Option.
It's used because looking at what would have been dealt on the river is known as "rabbit hunting".
The site I saw them on has an option to turn them on or off.
However, with a download iminent, any options that Sky could give that increases footfall to the site can surely only be a good thing.
This includes a fold and show option, or even an option to keep your cards in view or not after you have folded.
Personally, I hate to see my hole cards after I have folded.
By havin an on/off option for it, everyone should be happy.
I found it fun and reassuring, if others find it makes them call more as they see how many times they could have won, then again, that makes them play more loosely and in turn, that should please us too.
Forgive my ignorance, I thought this thread was about the upcoming BBC's Springwatch with Bill Oddie and filming rabbits in their burrows. Slighty disappointed
I feel a way round it though would be to have it so you only saw it if you wanted to see it so to speak if that makes sense. This is probably a silly idea but its just me trying to think a way that would be beneficial for everyone, cause obviously it helps you for convidence Hale72, but for others it could just cause more frustration
