Re: Was this ruling correct
[ QUOTE ]
Am I the only person who feels this whole showdown one player to a hand stuff is nonsense? What's wrong with a neighbor saying, "oh you have a flush, show your hand"?

A player has the right to conceal information (the contents of his hand). If he is going to exercise this right he should not also have the benefit of someone looking over his shoulder. Violating one player to a hand could also create a very unfair situation. If a bad player flashed their cards everyone would tell them to show it because they want them to have the chips whereas a stronger player (if a stronger player that can't read his hand exists) would not this protection because it woudl be harder to get the chips from him. This is just off the top of my head, I haven't given any real thought to why we need one player to a hand.
