If your opponents mucks, then you can take the pot without showing your cards (but hold onto your cards until the pot is pushed your way).

Yup, my standard trade (showdown or no showdown) - my cards for the chips in the pot.

I won't give em up until I either concede the pot or am shipped it.

I had a situation the other night where two guys were heads up on the river. Player 1 bets, Player 2 raises. Player 1 mucks. As the dealer is pushing the pot, Player 1 demands to see Player 2's hand. Player 2 protests. I get called over.

Player 1 insists that a player has to show his hand to win a pot and goes on and on about how he used to be dealer in Vegas and he knows the rules, blah, blah, blah. I explain that the other guy is the only player left and indeed he does not have to show. Player 1 just didn't understand. I got the old "You don't know what you're talking about...I DEALT IN VEGAS!!!" He made a real fool of himself.

This seems to vary by room and/or by dealer. I don't think I've ever seen a floor called over to rule on this, but I see this discussion once or twice a month (I see the event happen more often and usually the pot just gets pushed and nobody asks to see anything). A few dealers think the winner has to show, some dealers think they don't have to show, some think they have to show if someone asks. But nobody's ever been anal enough to demand a floor come make a ruling.

I tend to go with "they have to show if someone asks" if the room allows IWTSTH--this is basically a showdown situation and anybody can ask to see the hands, even the winning hand. But if their cards are already mucked, they still get the pot.

you do understand that the other player didnt call the raise and has absolutely no grounds to claim the right to see the other players cards?

What are the general casino rules/etiquette for this type of situation? Mucked hand is dead, other hand must be shown to win.

Yeah, I've seen this go either way.

Last time I bluff/mucked, the dealer (Trop AC) made the other person show their hand before she would push them the pot (middle pair, missed OESD) Well, best case I would have chopped.

Uhhh... Hmmm. I was kinda confusing OP's version and this one. In Op's everything was called. It was a showdown, and the aggressor instead of showing mucked his cards.

Yeah, if things aren't called, obviously there is no IWTSTH. Just pretend my response was to OP's post.

Have to agree with AT on this one. If player 1 didn't call the bet, then why in the world would it be different from room to room about showing a hand?
