When it comes down to poker<\/a>, we all very much know the rules of the game<\/a>. So what is the show one show all rule<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine the dilemma when the dealer tells you to reveal your cards to all the players because of a \"show one show all\" ruling after a betting round. How much of an advantage do your opponents have? In this article, we take a close look at the \"show one show all\" rule<\/strong> to understand its legitimacy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Is the \"Show One, Show All\" Rule in Poker?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Poker games require all players to be on equal footing in regards to the information available to them.<\/strong> \"Show one, show all\" breaks the advantage of a single-player catching a glimpse of someone's hole cards by revealing the cards to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Imagine playing Texas Hold'em with a board of 5<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span>Q<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span>8<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span>. Player B went all-in while Player C, who is sitting next to B, was shown player's B hand after the deal. In this scenario, player C has an advantage over you and everyone else at the table since he has more information than anyone else. Player B could be holding 5<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span>5<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span> or even a Q<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span>8<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To guarantee fairness, player B must also show their hole to the rest of the participants. Doing so lets you know if what kind of range they are gunning for, letting you classify them as a LAG, TAG, or passive player<\/strong>. Of course, the deed is done after the betting round to avoid affecting the bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inactive players or those who folded can also use the information from player B's revealed cards. Everyone gets a good grasp on Player B's betting habits such as slow playing on inside straights or even a C-bet<\/a> without any blockers against their opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casinos and tournaments have different definitions of the \"show one show all\" rule.<\/strong> One of which is the WSOP with its rule 84<\/a>. In the official WSOP rule book, rule 84 states the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of a hand, if a player exposes one hole card, he or she must also show the other hole card if asked to do so by any player<\/p>WSOP, rule 84<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
