Re: Why exactly is it bad etiquette to ask to see a losing showdown ha
[ QUOTE ]
This is probably a silly question but can the bettor simply muck his cards after someone else calls? Basically in the same way the caller could muck after seeing he is lost, but without the obvious advantage of knowing for sure that he lost?

Yes, he has that option. In that case the caller may have to show because some casinos have a rule that you need to show two cards at showdown to win the pot.
The problem is usually the bettor doesnt show and doesnt muck (mucking is silly since usually they dont know if they are beat yet) and trys to wait for the caller to show, which wastes time....
