    i know the guy well and was fairly sure he was calling anyway so i said it as a sort of double bluff.

    Hi longman

    This may help: Do not reveal your cards while a hand is going on. While it's not against the rules (some places may give a penalty), it is at least a horrible breach of etiquette.

    Why??
    the other guy engaged the conversation by asking him what he had.He should be able to tell
    him anything he wants to IMO.
    I don't get this breach of etiquette malarky at all

    Official Tournament poker ruling.  If your asked about your hand in a multiway pot and tell the truth, your hand is dead.

    Cash game fine.

    HU in Tournament, normally allowed.

    But as a rule just dont do it.

    It was NOT a breach of etiquette - it was a breach of the standard rules of poker.

    Put simply, you can NOT tell your opponent "anything you wish".

    Them's the Rules, whether we like them or not is immaterial. As a rule......

    Yip, saying your exact hand is a no-no.

    But I don't understand why. Doesn't make sense to me. If some-one engages you in speech play then surely between the players involved it's between them?

    I just don't do speech play when playing live because it's a minefield. Cover my mouth (that's where the tells are, invent shades for the mouth and I'm buying them) and stare at a blank spot in the table.

    And are there actual rules written anywhere or has it just evolved? Because I've had TD's making rulings that I haven't agreed with at times.

    Got accused of string betting after I'd said all-in once. It seemd like there was some prize going for accusing anyone of string betting. I've only got 2 f hands, I can't put all the chips in at once. Freaked a bit. And I'm a fairly mild mannered, placid, Ghandi type of chap, I really am.
