Or you could not be a dick, just lie to him, and keep this loser happy and in the game. Piss him off and he's likely to stack off and leave, one and done.

But isnt the guy asking to see the hand being more of a dick?

I hate IWTSTH abusers, I remember not enoutering rampant IWTSTH abuse (even in Vegas) up until a trip to the Bike (LA) in late 2006 where IWTSTH was used every other hand ($5/5NL). At first I was upset when people asked as I was not used to it, throughout the trip I got more used to it and improved my quick mucking abilities and I always sat in the 1, 4, & 5 seats to make sure I got it mucked in time. It was different to see the hands at showdown everytime and helped a lot with reads so I got over my hatred of it as I felt I was gaining more than my opponents were. In the end I would prefer that anyone can muck a loser at the end assuming the rules dont state they have to show first in that situation.

Yep he's being a huge dick, massive even. But he's also giving you his money, and all you have to do to keep him happy and donating is feed him a lie.

For the record my take on the IWTSTH rule is in the minority, so I won't comment on the rule itself.
