I recently stumbled upton a site where they show you your folded cards.
This is a site where they don't offer real money play.
Is it bad for new player to see the cards they folded? I say YES!

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

You mean they show the turn and river even if everyone folds on the flop?
Yea thats bad because it promotes results orientated thinking.
I see people asking to see the turn and river after they fold all the time at live tournaments. Sure sign of a fish.

No he means when you fold your cards, you can still see what you had until the hand concludes. You get stuff like "Damn it, I would have hit my gutshot if I called a $254,382 bet! I don't care if the board was paired!"

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Yes, bad for new players, good for us. But ultimately irrelevant as long as it's just play money

It's Poker FatCat. They don't have real money games, but you can use your play chips to buy prizes, including real money deposits at other sites.
You can also set up and join teams. It was worth checking out to me. But I didn't spend too much time there.
But I was surprised when I folded my cards, and they didn't entirely dissapear.
