Re: The rule and ettiquitte on asking to see mucked cards at showdown?
After going many many sessions without seeing this rule invoked, a guy asked to see my losing hand on the river. I was already pissed that I had lost after flopping a set - and now I resented having to show the table how I play my sets. So I asked him if he was accusing me of cheating. He said no - and the dealer turned the cards over anyway.
I ended up getting the dealer mad about my comments about how innapropriate invoking IWTSTH is to satisfy curiosity. However, the dealer did tell the player that he was not allowed to invoke the rule again. The Floor also reiterated that.
Unfortunately the floodgates were opened and two more IWTSTH requests were made - though not by the same guy.
I am currently looking to get Foxwoods to change their policy which no Floor to my knowledge likes anyway. I would like to see a player have to state that he suspects collusion in order to see a mucked hand on the river.
