Is this correct?
I am just starting to play live. I was at a 1/2NL table in Florida. I called on the river a bigger bet than usual and my opponent turned over the nuts. I shoved my cards towards the muck when a different player asked the dealer to see my cards. The dealer turned them over.
After that, I made sure my cards were well mucked. Is this right? Do I have to show my cards when I lose and someone not in the hand asks to see them?

Thanks [/ QUOTE ] NP. The history of this goes back quite a bit and if you do a search here on IWTSYR or IWTSTH (I want to see your hand or I want to see that hand) you'll find that the board is split on whether this is a good rule or not and whether or not it was originally meant to ferret out collusion between players. Regardless of how people feel the fact is that in most American casinos any player who was dealt cards can ask to see all hands still in at the end, as long as the last action was a call.

[/ QUOTE ] Split??? If you mean 90% to 10% then I suppose it could be called a split. There is no doubt as to the original reason behind the implementation of the rule at all. Jimbo

Re: Is this correct?
Most B&M posters dislike this rule, and they also know that the rule was created to help detect (inept) collusion. Players who started out on the internet seem to like this rule, because they are used to getting this info when they play online.
Rottersod - I've never heard of a reason for this rule other than collusion detection. Is there another theory as to why the rule was put in place?
