"Winners Shown" Events at Canterbury Park — Benefiting Second Harvest Heartland
Just as it sounds – if you are the last remaining person in the pot, you must show your cards in order to be given the pot. AKA the "sleep well at night" tournament. All your bluffs will be known! All your nut peddling will be seen. Now you never need to ask, "If I fold, will you show?" This rule will drastically change the dynamic of the game and certainly create more action and battle of wits as you anticipate and predict if your opponent has it in him or her to try bluffing a third straight time!
Tip: Don't be shy about holding onto your cards until you are certain everyone else has folded! You don't want to accidentally expose your hand when there's still another player in the pot. Likewise, if you know you are going to fold in a key pot and you’re desperately curious to ensure your opponent doesn’t forget to show, don’t be scared to give him or her a reminder before you muck your cards.
