Re: What\'s the point of the \"can\'t lie about your hand\" rule?

Is it legal to fold, have your cards mucked, but kept to the side so you can show your hand after the hand is done? I know it would be mechanically awkward to do this, but is it legal if the dealer is willing?

if the dealer is willing to do so, and the game is relaxed enough, then yeah thats fine it happens all the time. however you can also show your cards to a PLAYER NOT IN THE HAND, and he can verify your holding after the hand is completed

Its generally best if you don't do this at all, but if you must, explain it quickly to the dealer, make them kill your hand, and then leave it to the side. Showing it to just one player who isn't in the hand, habitually, has the tendency to cause mistrust over the course of a session. Some people get mad that the guy next to you gets to see your hand every time, and when they start losing they start inventing scenarios about how you two are colluding.
Best not to show your hand to anyone or to everyone.
