Default Re: Why exactly is it bad etiquette to ask to see a losing showdown ha

The only reason the "I want to see the hand" rule exists is to prevent collusion - 2 comrades raising and reraising junk hands to steal money from a 3rd player. If you bet heads up, and your opponent folds (or calls and mucks), you are not entitled to the info of what they had.
