    I'm sure most if not all of you know that world poker exchange is rake free. Something else they give out for free is information about your hand when you bet and your opponent folds. I found this out today when I put a play on a guy across the table from me. He held top pair top kicker, and he laid it down to a raise on the turn. The details of the play aren't really important, but if you must know I had outs.

    At first the guy asked if I hit I set? I replied that I knew he didn't have a set, so it didn't matter what I had. Five minutes later he types in my exact hand and says, "straight draw huh? Nice Play." I asked him how he knew my cards since he folded to my raise. He said this is the only site he has encountered that allows you to view your opponent's cards when you fold to their raise (just request a HH, and it's in your inbox). The 100% rakeback WPEX offers is great, but demonstrating every play I make to my opponents when they fold is -EV regardless of the "no rake" feature. It's the equivalent of the dealer flipping up your cards everytime the table lays down their hands to your button reraise. Obsurd...con30

    Surely this can't be true. Did you request a HH to see if he was telling the truth or just take his word for it?

    My HH is going to show my cards to me regardless of the action. He typed in QT of clubs (my exact cards) about 5 minutes after the hand. I was moved off a hand later in the game, requested a hand history, and sure enough was able to see that my opponent had caught a set and folding my aces was the correct play. This crap feature gives one's opponent more accurate information than pokertracker and other data mining software. It gives specific information about a specific play in a relatively quick manner (email). Try it for yourself if you or someone you know has an account there. I probably will no longer be playing there unless the "feature" is done away with...con30

    It is true. I looked at some HH's. I cant believe they allow this. Is there any way to get instant HH?

    There is also an exploit/glitch so you dont have to post a blind when you sit into a game out of the blinds...lol

    All you have to do is sit 1 hand out then click auto post and you wont have to post outta turn...

    Yeah I found that out by accident a couple of weeks ago, but kept it to myself...lol. I guess I could have kept the HH glitch to myself. I'm not sure I would have caught it without my opponent tipping my off about it. I think I'm going to go w/d while I'm thinking about it..

    Anyone hear if this has been fixed yet? I just requested a hand history when I folded to another player's bet (pre-flop) and didn't see his cards.
