Comments[edit]

I reworked much of this article to make the rule descriptions more precise. [prior version]. Specifically, I didn't like the phrase "All players are obligated to expose their hands immediately" because it contradicts the rest of the paragraph. Several sentences may be verbatim (or close to) from Robert's Rules of Poker. Robert's Rules are public domain (and are listed in references), but are still not adequately attributed. I will circle back on that shortly to clean it up.--Toms2866 16:37, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that content from Robert's Rules of Poker are now adequately attributed. I also added links to some interesting Card Player Magazine articles concerning the debate about optimal showdown rules and procedures.--Toms2866 02:43, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

does the word poker need to be in parenthesis?[edit]

I am trying to link to this page from my site and I am using joomla CMS it does not allow me to save a URL which containg parenthesis what am I doing wrong? or can the URL be changed? Timdowd 17:42, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, parentheses are necessary. The URL should be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showdown_(poker). —Lowellian (reply) 17:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
