Editing One player to a hand

'''One player to a hand''' is an important [[poker]] rule, designed to promote fair play that is universally applied in [[casino]] play. It states that all game decisions about the play of each hand must be made by one player without any assistance. This means, for example, that a player may not ask for advice from any other players or observers during the play of the hand, nor should anyone offer such an advice.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.pokernews.com/news/2007/2/tournament-directors-association-new-poker-rules.htm| title = Tournament Directors Association Announces New Poker Rules}}</ref>  The phrase is often used as a warning to players making what might be perceived as minor violations, such as commenting upon other players' possible hands.

Note that any player correcting an error on a declared holding once the hands are exposed, is not a violation of this rule since no further decisions can be made. Some rulebooks declare it an ethical obligation of a player to point out any error in the awarding of a pot or the reading of hands shown down.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.cardplayer.com/rules-of-poker| title = Cardplayer.com: Rules of Poker, Showdown}}</ref>  See [[Cards speak]].
