#859 – Watching Online Poker: Educational or Sick?
I recently received an e-mail from a Full Tilt player named Greg telling me that he and his wife had been watching me play on Full Tilt for several days. They said they enjoyed it, but were disappointed that they never got to see my cards “when you call on the river.” He wanted to know if that was “standard for the pros, so we will not know what you called with.” He was hoping to learn from my playing.
I emailed him back to explain that was not the case and how seeing cards at showdown worked, live and online. Our exchange brought up some useful points that I thought would be worth describing here.
