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

If you called a bet on the last street then the bettor has to show his hand. I would refuse to show my hand. I would not say "IWTSTH". I would say "I called, show or muck". If pressed I would say again "I called you must show or muck".

It gets tricky when everyone is allin befor the river. Different rooms have different rules but the common rule is last aggressive action (ie bet/raise) must show first but lots of rooms in LA especially do not follow this convention.
