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) |

Re: Do I need to show my cards
You should not need to, the hand is over because you are the only one left with cards.
The only real reason I can see for requiring you to do so is that it helps reduce concerns about players working together to force a 3rd player out of the pot. |

Re: Do I need to show my cards
You don't unless somebody asks to see them. Since it is still a called hand, a player can ask to see your cards. This should end any discussion about collusion

Re: Do I need to show my cards
The standard rule is that the last guy with a live hand gets the pot. The exact same thing if your opponent folded heads up on the turn; you take it down.
If you don't want to show in this spot and the floor is telling you that you have to, I would do it just that one time and then ask the floor to bring you a copy of the house rules showing that they indeed have this rule. I have never heard of a room where this wasn't treated as a taken down pot. |

[/ QUOTE ] Saw that once in the 5/10, player got chewed out by half the table for wasting their time (its a timed rake game) having to have the floor come over and chew him out. 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.
