Kishnobi why do u disagree with that rule if there is noone else to act?
the only reason i can think of is if someone on the table (not in the hand) makes a comment or something...

There are a number of reasons I think it"s wrong.

One, is the reason you stated.  You turn your cards over and someone comments that you"ve lost one of the cards you"re drawing to as they held a particular card, or that if they"d called they"d hit the  whatever. 

It"s also the same as declaring your hand.  You"re trying to get a read off the player (and other players who are no longer in the hand).  A player might even do it to get the other player to reveal his hand before the showdown - and therefore making his hand dead as you"re still to act.  It"s angle-shooting.

I saw a televised event, not sure which one, and Gus Hansen showed his cards to a player sitting next to him in exactly this situation.  the TD stepped in and said his cards were dead.  I thought this was fair.

texfitz:
forgive me for interupting this thread but what"s it all about ?

you CAN declare your holdings
you CAN"T declare your holdings
you CAN lie about your holdings
you CAN"T lie about your holdings
you CAN/CANNOT tell the truth if asked

what is the initial purpose of this game ?  To get all the chips in play

the clock is ticking -  LET YOUR CHIPS DO THE TALKING
