Proper Folding Etiquette

When folding, the proper procedure is to turn the exposed card or cards face down, and slide or toss them all gently to the dealer. Sometimes angry players fling their cards face up. This is not only poor sportsmanship and poor etiquette, but can affect a hand's outcome, by providing information to a player to which he should not have had access.

Chuck's hand is similar to Andy's, although his cards are even lower, and he doesn't have the two-flush that Andy does. This is the sort of hand that a lot of seven stud players play, because they look for an excuse to get involved in a hand. But it is the sort of hand that loses money over the long run.

Dave's hand is very, very weak. He has no pair, no high cards, and no straight or flush possibilities. Nonetheless, if Dave is an optimist, he might think he has a good bluffing opportunity. Aside from the Aces, his Jack is the highest visible card, and because THREE Aces are visible, it becomes fairly unlikely that any one person has a pair of Aces, and will be impossible for anyone to hold three Aces. So if Dave is a bluffer and an optimist, he might try something fancy. People who bluff too much and who are too optimistic usually lose in poker
