Re: \"I WANT TO SEE THAT HAND\"
Yesterday at Casino AZ 5-150 I had raised the big blind from two off the button, it was my third raise in my short time at the table. I hit the flop with the BB, Q44. Check, I bet $15 (half pot), the BB makes it $45. I don't wait long, I make it $120. He thinks for a while and calls.
Turn is a deuce. Check, check. River an ace. He pushes for his remaining $100. Unhappily, I call. Player to my left says "Dealer, I want to see both those hands.". BB shows J4. Pissed, I take my cards and make to shove them deep in the muck, but stop and think about it again. I turn over A5o.
I got lots of action after that. Unfortunately I got stacked when my full house was cracked by a straight flush and AA allin preflop got cracked by quad queens.
I could have lectured the guy that he had no right to see my hand because there was no possibility of collusion in the hand. I could have been an angry nit and made the table a less fun place to play at. But I think it's better to just smile and bear it and play poker.
