Question:    What is the common manner of handling online cards?

Answer:    When playing online poker, you may feel awkward peeking at your own cards without exposing them to others. If you show clumsiness in handling them, other players will not bother, as they have no formal obligation to alert you. The best way to learn is to notice how other poker players manage it and emulate them. The best way is to leave your cards in sight at all times because holding them in your lap or passing them to your friend is a ground for killing your hand. Because your neighbor might want to see you declared dead if something like this happens.
