Do I need to show my cards
This is the situation.
On the river only two players remain. A guy makes a bet I call the bet the other guy instant mucks his cards and says you win. I am the only person left at the table with cards. Do I need to show my cards to claim the pot. I asked the floor person on the night who said I had to show my cards. The next night I asked the head floor person who said I do not need to show my cards. What is the correct rule in other places. Mark. |

No, you don't.
But you should, because this ruling gets made incorrectly all the time. |

At Borgata, you have to show your hand.
The winning hand must be shown at showdown to claim the pot, period. (there) |

He got the pot though. |

Re: Do I need to show my cards
Thanks for the replies guys. I guess it just depends on the poker room you are playing.

Re: Do I need to show my cards
I called a big bet on the river of a hand at the Beau Rivage in July and the guy I was heads-up with instantly mucked his hands. The dealer pushed me the pot and I pushed her the cards face-down.

Re: Do I need to show my cards
as soon as his hand hits the muck it is dead. you don't need to show.
