Will YOU pick up a hand you folded?

[riverspecialist]

heres an anecdote i meant to include was from a long time ago at a 5/10 game at harrahs. a draw heavy flop got capped about 6+ ways then checked down after every draw missed. first to act i flipped over my eight high and announced it just as mentioned in the post above and everyone shook their heads and tossed their hands into the muck. I dont mind this EV but i specifically dont want to be an angler so i tried o stop people from mucking "wait my eight doesnt even play! stop folding. table your hand!" no one did. After the pot was pushed to me i said "the board is 2 pair, ace high. does anyone want part of this pot?" and no one said a word as the dealer collected the cards and dealt the next hand.
