The reason that they have more strick rules in tournamnents rather than cash games, is in tournaments it is more likely to have collusion, in a cash game with two players playing for money, the casino could care less if you both push all in or both check down, their rake is usally the same. In a tourament, one player, telling another player their hand can have a major impact on the overall tournament, and can affect the fates of players who arent in the hand.
MVP, yes I have flipped my cards over to see my opponants reaction, and it works vs some people. For the most part it is more effort than its worth.

About 5 people limp in for $2 including a young guy who isn't bad and this old calling station woman.
Flop is

the kid bets $15 and the woman calls, everyone else folds
Turn

Kid bets $20 and she raises to $55 which you know is a made hand since she's a calling station. They talk back and forth until the lady just says "I have a made hand, don't call" and then flips over her cards

. She isn't all in nor is the kid. Then the kid turns over his had ![[Ac]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Ac.gif "The Ace of Clubs")
![[4c]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/4c.gif "The Four of Clubs")
and thinks about the call. I've never seen this and the dealer says nothing. The kid eventually folds I guess knowing he can't get anything out of her on the river if a club shows since she knows she would be beat. She would pay him off with here stack (about another $120) if he had called and hit.No one said anything but this was the first time that I've seen it with money left to be bet. Maybe its against the rules but not enforced.

Alchemist... What exactly is a "20 minute time ban...?" I wanna see the guy who has the balls to walk up to Phil Ivey and tell him, he's gotta go sit in the corner cause he's in timeout...

That being said, I have heard people say they've actually shown one of their cards when they are all in or an opponent is all in to get a reaction. Like if there is a flush draw out there, and you have one of the suit, like the ace, you could show the Ace or show the other card if you don't believe he has the flush and you have him beat anyway so you don't want the flush to scare you. I don't like this either and I'm not sure of the exact rule for that either. These things could be casino to casino as many of them have different variations on these rules.
Personally, I would concentrate more on the other things.
