Does that mean that I can only play Monsters/One-Shot Items/etc that are in my hand and not "carried" (turned sideways/not in my hand) during combat?

Hope my question makes sense. Sorry in advanced.
Well, Monsters aren't Items, so they can only be in your hand before you play them (and can only be played to Look For Trouble, or into existing Combats if allowed by the text on a card).

One-shot Items that you are carrying may be used in a combat. They don't really have to be turned sideways (in fact they probably aren't SUPPOSED to be) when played to the table, though many people do (myself included) just as a reminder that they are not going into effect right then. They are always "used" in the sense of being ready to hand, since they don't take up any slot that might be used by something else.

(I think there might be some that are Race restricted, in which case they probably WOULD have to be turned sideways if you were not currently that Race. Which might mean that those particular ones wouldn't be available if you changed to that Race in the middle of a combat. Not sure about that.)
