One of my least favorite rules - as a rec I feel it prevents almost no angles and takes quite a bit of banter/fun/life out of the game. People wonder why were on our phones constantly and it's how robotic/ lifeless tournament poker has become in the last 10-20 years
@@TSprinkles-rz3kw when I was a young rec I was 100% ambushed by people showing me their strong hand while I was bluffing, and probably had a physical reaction that helped them call. If it were within the rules I'd be fine with it, but the fact that you're not expecting it makes it more effective. So, yea I agree it shouldn't be the rule, but if it is, people should abide by it and be punished if they break it.
