PLO - All cards not technically tabled. Ruling?

I was playing $1/$2 ($5) PLO the other day. It was a very good table. Lots of very loose action and stacks of chips movi

Sorry to confuse. I was responding to the Comment by backstairs where he specifically claimed showing to cards that his opponent can’t beat makes him a winner. This was even after it was made clear to him that showing 2 for the winner is the spirit of who we want to win, it definitely doesn’t make the winning hand per actual rule.Your original post was much more nuanced and sub

This is correct, you said it yourself. If his opponent can't beat it then where will the pot end up? Take your time.. reload your vpn if required.

Well if he never tables all four cards, iow places them back face down and pushes to dealer, pot will go to opponent who tabled his hand.

Showing two cards is never the winner in a contested pot with a tabled hand. Neither is showing 4 cards. Nor tabling 2 cards in Omaha. To win such a showdown you need to TABLE a better 4 card hand . Showing cards is not tabling. 2 cards don’t make an Omaha hand. Showing 2 cards doesn’t win unless opponent just surrenders their hand.

Just like when you shout at players, you are wrong.
Just like when you order cash players to table, you are wrong.
Just like you saying dealing cash like a tournament is fine, you are wrong.
Just like saying shuffling and reshuffling are same, you are wrong.

One thing that is consistent is you are wrong.

I’ll be more generous. He is clearly posting in the wrong forum. He stated in another thread that he deals only in home games, so he probably just thinks his home game rules are correct. I’m guessing he legitimately did not understand that in casinos cash games and tournaments have different rules about showing when all in. I’m guessing that in his home game, if the play Omaha, showing two cards might well be enough to win a pot. Rules in home games are all over the place and not really always in line with casino rules.

Where I won’t defend him is his unwillingness to accept that the experienced posters on here know what the rules in casino games are and continues to insist that he is right.

Ok then. You’re just wrong on most of these rules. Showing two cards in an Omaha hand is not tabling the hand. If you show two cards or even table two and then muck your hand, the pot is going to an opponent who properly tabled his hand every single time. In a casino, you NEVER are required to show your hand in a cash game, even if a player is all in. You only need to table your hand if you want to make a claim on the pot.

Those are not up for debate; those are standard casino rules. If you have other rules in the home games you deal, fine. But don’t try to argue about these things with the experienced players on this forum. You are just flat out wrong.

Cool. You and tens of millions of other people.

It's a pretty common and known rule that you must table all of your cards for your hand to be considered tabled. Regardless of how many it takes to "beat" your opponent.


This is a total angle by player 1. Guy said flush, showed the flush and “sort of tabled” the other two. He had time to object and asked to see the other two
