Show one, show all drama in the Borg $2-5 NL

I do not believe it was entirely unreasnable to ask to your opponents card when the hand was done. However, once he blows up and starts making a fool of himself don't drop to his level and escalate the situation by trying to be the muck goalie.

Many players would think what you did here was a breach of etiquette. Unless you suspect collusion, you should let it go.

Igor you are confusing the "I Want To See That Hand" rule with the "Show One Show All" rule.

Actually, no I'm not.

I seriously just registered so I could congratulate you on this post. "Muck Goalie" is such a great term. It made me laugh for five minutes.

Perhaps you have the right to enforce SOSA, but nobody likes a nit. When you're a winning player, it's much better to be loved than it is to be feared. Invoking SOSA doesn't help the love any.

Yes, you are in your rights. But it seems pretty nitty to request that the dealer set aside his hand while there are still others in the pot.

It is within your right to request to see a hand that has called you down (and is mucked when beat) - but it is very nitty to do so (I realize this is to prevent collusion issues - but hardly anyone does it for this sake).

Regardless, it might be in your rights but it is still very nitty and annoying to everyone at the table, IMO.

Strong agreement. Just let it go.

this is unreal, i would only ask if it was on the river and i had a semi-decent reason to see it. asking to have the cards set aside pf, while allowed, is pretty unheard of for me and just bad for the game. obviously he was out of line for trying to wash them in but jeez calm down bro, don't be such a nit.

I'll show a hand I'm folding to my neighbor sometimes when I'd really like to call with it, but can't because I'm priced out. If somebody asked to see it afterwards, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
