Quick foxwoods dealer venting

Well, let's not forget that the guy who didn't want to show was keeping magical information secret. Surely had he shown first, the fabric of space and time would have started to crumble and we'd all be left weeping in the dark. Thank goodness OP was there to prevent this!

Sorry, these silly showdown standoffs just make me laugh. Regardless of who shows first, it's generally widely accepted everywhere that if you think you have a winner, table the darn thing. You're not as good or special as you think you are. Everybody else wants to move on to the next hand.

Funny you mention this because a near identical situation occured Saturday in my limit game. A annoying guy bet and I called him with Q high. He refused to show his hand ( [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] )so I showed him the Queen. He wouldn't muck his hand until I showed him my other card.

5 min later he bets another river and gets called, the caller immediately turned over his middle pair. the idiot stares at the caller's hand for a full 2 min and won't show or muck his own cards.

I asked the dealer if we can start calling clocks on people when the betting is over.
