Proper handling of mucked cards after heads-up all-in

When this happens I muck the cards and stop dealing (except in a tourney situation).

How far forward did he toss the cards? Was it obvious that he was mucking them or just frustrated at seeing what his opponent had? I guess I feel that had he really threw them towards the muck then the delaer should have mucked them and stopped dealing. Since he didn't and the guy ended up turning the cards over I'd have to award him the pot although I wouldn't be very happy with this situation since he obviously got help from other players. IMO, if he really did throw those cards forward then the dealer shouldn't have waited so long.

Not a doubt in the world he was tossing 'em in. Sure, he was frustrated his AJ had run into K4 (or whatever it was) on a J44 board, but the cards were out there almost even with the board. Sure seemed to me like that hand shoulda (okok... "should of" ...errrr, no wait... "should have") ended at that point. AJ had to reach far to grab 'em back and turn the cards over and he seriously waited a solid >5 seconds, probably closer to 10. Just kinda count to 5 and imagine the dealer staring at the guy for those 5 seconds. Then chatter starts from other players. Then it finally dawns on AJ, "golly I ended up with the winner" and he tentatively reaches out and flips 'em.
