This happened towards the end of a home game last week. I"d be interested to know what the ruling would or should have been had it happened during a live tournament in a casino and the floor had been called in these circumstances....
A player with a 12K stack limps for 1600 chips in early position, I shove my 14K with KK on the button and then the BB also shoves his last 7K. The action folds around to the limper.
Whilst the limper is pondering, the BB lifts up the corners of his cards and shows his AA to other players at the table. The limper who is still to act, catches sight of the hand and promptly mucks his cards, thereby denying me a potential side pot.
You are the floor, I"m absolutely furious - what now ?

No more action, at least a 1 orbit sit out and cancel any further invites to the player. Strange that the Limper managed to see the cards!

The limper and the BB are mates, they are both 19 yrs old and both overestimate their own ability. I"d like to think that this situation was merely youthful naivety, but I suspect that the BB was just trying to save his mate from losing a chunk of chips. I"m in no rush to invite them again... ;)

Home game the ruling would be a high 5 right in his face. Sounds like it was a blatant "fold I got aces" move. Casino it would be live hand but defo a penalty. And a high 5 right in his face. ;)
GiMac:
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. ;)
