This is why you do not just lower you hand.

He did not do it in the right manner based on what I read. He allowed his partner to go to the table. Now either his partner was so clueless or he did not make sure his partner saw him originally. Also you have to know to some extent there is a possiblity that your partner might have something. Not always, but most of the time for sure.

Granted, this is not needed in all cases, however.

What I am talking about takes a second or two. I am not talking about a long drawn out conversation. You likely should also talk about these kinds of situations in the pre-game. Just a short conversation about this tells you and your partner(s) how you will handle this.

True, but I do not think this is that kind of situation.
