Need help with ruling

[bav]

I don't care if the cards were touching the muck or not. They were tossed forward face down with the obvious intent to fold. If THAT player had instantly grabbed them back, I'd let her play them, but this violated one-player-to-a-hand. Part of the game is knowing what you hold, and if you aren't smart enough to figure that out on your own all you have to do is table it at every showdown to get help. If you're mucking 'em face down at the showdown I presume it's because you don't want your opponents to know what you were holding, so if this bit of attempted strategy backfires on you I don't have a lot of sympathy.

You got screwed.
