This had been happening a lot at my local casino and there is one player who just keeps doing it. This is the situation.

The player makes a bet I call. The player shows one card and I then say thats good. The player then mucks his other card which now cant be retrived. Should this player still win the pot. I keep warning the player if he does it again I will claim the pot but he keeps doing it. Do I have the right to claim the pot if he only has one card?

Mark.

I never understand this situation, why does it matter what he does after you concede? Yes, he is leaving himself wide open to an angleshooter that will attempt to claim a pot he didn't win but I am certain you or the other person in this thread are not one of those.

If you called his bet and want to see both cards, just wait until he turns both cards over, don't say "It's Good." just wait silently and he will eventually have to turn over both cards.

We don't have that problem much in Indiana because you have to show both hole cards to claim the pot. It appears to me that you have trained him that it is okay to show one card, because you concede without seeing the other card.

Please don't wait until he mucks one of his cards (which I will concede is a really stupid thing to do.) and try to claim a pot that isn't rightfully yours.
