Hi!
I'm from Sweden and this is my first post here at bankrollmob.
I'm just curious which clients that doesn't show the cards on hand if all have gone all-in.
The one that I thinking of is the client that Nordicbet is using which doesn't shows the hands. Isn't that a kind of sabotage the excitement of the turn and river so say.
Anyhow, is there more clients that you know of that bringing this evil to the tables.

As far as i can remember it is Pokerstars, Party Poker and Virgin Poker (Boss media network) The other rooms show it, sometimes even with your chance of winning.

its because in casino cashgames u dotn have 2 show untill the showdont untill the river, and in MTT u have 2 show when both players are allin, thats the rule.
The poker sites dont show the cards of the other players in the river in cash games to avoid the datamining in my opinion all sites have to the responsability of dont show the cards in the river in tournamets and sit&go they can show it because you can aply the datamining good luck

I don't know what datamining is but surely if players are all in you will have to see the cards at the some point so what difference does it make if they show them as soon as the all in is called or after the river has been dealt.
the other day at partypoker I went all in with pocket 10s preflop. I get called but I have no idea what shape i'm in. theres a Q on the flop which has me nervous but then comes 9 and a J and I make a strait 8 to Q. I think yes but then he shows A 10 and its a split pot. its not nice. your praying for cards to come but have no idea if you really want them and the joy that comes from knowing you made the right move is spoiled when you realise in the same second you've had a bad beat.
in my opinion all sites have to the responsability of dont show the cards in the river
