If it was in a casino card room, with action still to follow the "AA" player, his deliberately exposed hand should be declared dead, as he is obviously affecting the actions of the limper who is still to act behind him. Now whether it would be is probably down to the size of the TD"s balls, how loud each player shouts and if he is mates with any of the players. In a home game, you just have to swallow these things, that"s why people play in casinos. ;)

The AA is never a dead hand (subject to house rules)* but it would have to be turned over and shown to all parties still in the hand and would still be live.
Whether the AA player chooses to make any action is still up to him...you cannot force him to bet.
Penalty would be assessed after the hand is over.

22. Showing cards from a live hand during the action injures the rights of other players still competing in an event, who wish to see contestants eliminated. A player in a multihanded pot may not show any cards during a deal. Heads-up, a player may not show any cards unless the event has only two remaining players, or is winner-take-all. If a player deliberately shows a card, the player may be penalized (but his hand will not be ruled dead). Verbally stating one's hand during the play may be penalized.

Live hand but penalty for the guy, if it was my home game the penalty would be a good kicking. I"d also penalise the guy limping with 8bbs and then tanking for being terrible

This is obviously a joke without the smiley at the end.
If anyone new to the game is reading this I can tell you that TDs (Tournament directors) are the people that oversee the tournament and are called over by the dealer if there is a ruling decision.
TDs in licensed UK Casinos are honest and fair, give a strict interpretation of the rules regardless of whether it is for a local player who they know well or a player visiting for the first time.
Paulie_D:
Any TD who declared the AA a dead hand isn"t worth paying for and should be put against the wall and shot.
The fact that is it might be a house rule would not reduce the sentence as they are obviously guilty of not having the rule changed.
No, I"ll be fair...we"ll still shoot him if it is a house rule...I"ll just tell the guys to aim ABOVE the waist. ;D

The trouble is there are no set rules for poker either in the UK or the US.
The TDA are trying to change this. This link is for the latest TDA rules http://www.pokertda.com/poker-tda-rules/
