however, i do think players should be able to expose a single card after the hand is over. I hate the fact that you have to show both cards, or none. I think it's a silly rule.

I do think if the hand is showndown the winning hand SHOULD HAVE to show both cards, but if the opponent folds at any point, showing only one card should be allowed. I am of the camp where slow rolling is about the worst show of bush leagueness (and I am aware that those that agree with me on this, no explanation is neccesary, while those that disagree and enjoy their slow rolling, no explanation will suffice)so allowing only one card to be shown to win the pot in a contested showdown opens up HUGE doors for slow rolling, bad vibes and unchanneled anger that is ridiculously stupid, because if the geek that wants to slow roll or argue were not in a casino he wouldn't act that way. (example: the kid in the WSOP that got into it with Jamie Gold got a penalty for cussing and had to sit out, he had HUGE poker in a public place muscles, and from behind his computer monitor he is BAD ASS, but once he got knocked out on his horrible draw all in call, he reverted back to his no sun seeing, pocket protector wearing dweeb that he is. Now if he, and others like him, just respected everybody that sat down at the table and treated everyone and the game with dignity we would have no problems. Unfortunately, I think it will be a long time before the masses as a whole play it gentlemanly and gentlewomanly 100% of the time, all the time.
