Mike Caro said that showing his cards at Showdown gets great reactions and has earned him tons of money. Explain that... – sorewinner Oct 15 '16 at 11:11

No. Players must not reveal their cards during a live hand unless a rule requires it.
A standard response is that any hand deliberately revealed when not permitted is dead. Further penalties can also be imposed.

Accidentally exposing live hands without permission, a warning and the opponent is not allowed to (re)raise. Nobody was ever daft enough to let it happen twice in a day. Deliberate exposure when not permitted? It never happened because players knew they'd be mucked. Not to mention the social stigma, let alone the chance of other formal penalties. – Nij Oct 15 '16 at 10:12
It is against the rules. You cannot even announce your card(s) when the hand is live.
What I have seen with inadvertent is they can only call or fold. They cannot bet out or raise.
To award the hand is extreme. It would be like a 1 orbit penalty.
There are dealers and floor men on this site that will hopefully weigh in.

In general it is against the rules ... I saw that at TV , not sure if it was EPT , but I think so , Hand was dead and penalty of 1 orbit .
