simple showdown question
HU pot. Player A bets out. Player B calls. Player A throws his cards in the muck (on purpose, just surrendering his hand). (Edit: this is on the river if that wasn't clear)
Why does player B have to show his cards to get the pot? Is this just to prevent collusion? Is this the "standard" showdown rule? |

Re: simple showdown question
Good point...what are they gonna do split the pot if you don't show?
I asked because the Carribean Poker Classic is in town and they have side cash games going. I was in a hand like this and the dealer wouldn't push me the pot unless I showed. I considered calling the floor and making a big stink but it wans't worth it. Also these dealers are all european and I thought MAYBE they have different showdown rules that make no sense on that side of the pond. |
