Re: And the winner is.....??

How is this for a definition: Muck, according to Robert's rules is "to discard ones hand" . To "discard" means "to throw away or get rid of". So we have Muck meaning to throw away or to get rid of ones hand. No mention of the position of the cards or where they're thrown.
So we have a situation where it is Player A's turn to act. He has been called and now, as first to act, he can either show his hand or he can muck it. By the definition above, by tossing his hand into the middle of the table, or away, he has elected to muck.

I dunno why you're so obsessed over this. Did a ruling not go your way somewhere? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
In the case where intention is unclear, it's a simple matter to ask. It's easy and in the spirit of the game and ensures the proper person wins the pot. Why are you still trying to hammer this out? You're adding definitions and interpretations to guidelines when the easiest and safest solution is simply to request clarification from the players. Rules are meant to protect, not punish.
