Re: live etiquette: he hasn\'t mucked but doesn\'t want to show \'em

usually he's expecting you to call your hand here, like say "a pair" or "ace high" or something. this is one of those things that I feel like people always used to do but not so much anymore. saying "show or muck" is fine but might be considered a little rude by some older players. I almost always call my hand in your spot.

That sounds exploitable. You just claim a better hand than what you have (in this situation) and then say you misread the cards if he doesn't muck and you have to show. Especially if you've called down with ace high and you suspect he's on some small pair due to this interplay on the river; "bluffing" him into mucking would be an enormous coup.

The vast majority of the time, however, your opponent will say "that's good" and wait for your to show your hand to claim the pot. If you then show that you've lied, your credibility is shot for good.
