Can a player use their toes to hold their cards in a poker game?

[MillionBoy]

Players are not allowed to hold their cards using any body part other than their hands. This is because the rules of poker require that all players' cards remain visible to the other players at all times. Using a body part other than the hands to hold the cards can obscure them from view and may be seen as an attempt to cheat. If a player is caught using their toes or any other body part to hold their cards, they may face penalties or disqualification from the game.

Additionally, it is important to note that using one's toes to hold cards can be unhygienic and potentially spread germs to other players or the cards themselves, which is particularly important in the current climate. All players are typically expected to follow good hygiene practices when playing poker, including washing their hands regularly and using hand sanitizer before and during the game.

For these reasons, it is always best to stick to using your hands to hold your cards during a game of poker, both for ethical and practical reasons. As with any game, it is important to follow the rules and etiquette to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all players involved.

@Nalini if for example, I have an urgent case to go to handle and let my friend play in my place does it considered an illegal act in poker or they do not allow such practice? Because it is reputable in the poker world except for online one. Please clarify the situation.

A player using toes to hold cards would receive penalties; cheating is unacceptable. Cards must be held properly to avoid disruption. Though innovative, this scheme crosses ethical lines.

In all domains cheating is not acceptable and casinos are observing your activity if you are cheating a penalty must be accorded from the casino owner for example.
