Well ultimately, you have control of your own cards, and nothing can stop you from mucking the losing hand. And while technically it is a rule that other players have a right to see any hand that goes to showdown, it won't be strictly enforsed unless the person asking to see the hand is also accusing you of collusion.

If a player clearly asks me as a dealer to show a hand (assuming the rules provide for showing this hand) and I hear him while you still have the cards in your hand YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE YOUR CARDS IRRETRIEVABLE UNLESS YOU DO SOMETHING WHICH WILL GET YOU KICKED OUT OF THE ROOM.

Now if you unload them before I hear the request that is different.
