I think telling someone what you have while THEY are making the decision is a completely different question from flipping up your cards after someone goes all in and YOU are deciding whether to call.
In the first case I don't think the WSOP tourney rules let you give "honest" info about your hand when you are in the hand. At least that was what was alluded to in the 2004 WSOP broadcast.
The second case, they have already made their call by going in. The only other action that can happen is in your hands so as long as you don't accidently get your cards mucked in the process you should be able to flip them up to try to get a tell. BTW, how (officially) does the dealer know when you flip your cards up, tossing them toward the middle, that you are mucking them face up versus flipping them up as discussed here? I saw one of those old WSOP shows on ESPN classic and I read it as a fold face up and then they started to talk about him trying to get a tell.
Are the "official" rule online somewhere?
