Showing Cards

[herbiedeals]

I was in a tournament last night where I overbet the pot twice with the "nuts" best possible hand actaully I checked then raised with 3 ppl still in. I then went all in they folded and both times I showed. There were 80 ppl to start. We were down to 12 and one of the origional guys Ive played with all night check to me after the river I was in the big blind and has a pair of 2s. I bet all in. I then told him I would show him if he folded the blinds were 1k-2k and there was about 11k in the pot as I tried to steal it after the flop. He folded the 2nd best pair on the board I showed him only my 2. He then said I knew you had the king. He was on a short stack but he really helped me out by doing that. Ive noticed that peoples post say "In my opinion show one show all" Well ask for the rules on that before you start then there is NO CONFUSION. If you dont ask then you will be playing in the dark with these grey areas. I told the table last night show me the rules and Ill show you my cards otherwise next time pay to play.
