Another IWTSYH; dealer resurrects mucked hand

[chucky]

I feel for you. I would show, but I really would hope players would learn the purpose of rules rather than the surface.

Isn't the correct procedure for not showing your hand when IWTSTH is invoked, is eating them?

[signal]

I usually just take out a zippo and light them on fire.

Spleen this is becoming the norm for florida poker (pbkc/hhr) I get fired up but I just counter it by doing the same to whoever asked.

and actually if the supposed winner of the hand asks to see a hand then the hand is to remain live. If the winner asks and your hand (which may have been misread by you) beats their hand then you are the winner. If anyone else ask, which as said before they do have the right to do, then the dealer would take the cards. Tap them on the muck face down "killing" the hand and turn them up and then immediately muck them again.

As for a dealer retrieving a hand that is already in the muck, even though they know which ones they are, I have been told this is wrong. The only one that can retrieve a dead hand is the floor. This is the case where I work. Is it the same elsewhere?

It depends on the house, in some a hand can become live again. The power muck here is just asking for trouble, your hands have no place near the stub.

If they're in the muck, I'm not going through it to try and guess which were whose cards - I'd call a floor if someone insisted, but knowing mine I doubt it would matter. If a player asks I'll safeguard the stub, since OPs not the first person to try and power muck his hand. I hate the IWTSTH rule personally but I hate people trying to force their cards into the stub even worse.

Because a decent floorman will boot you for touching the stub.
