Default live etiquette: he hasn\'t mucked but doesn\'t want to show \'em

OK, couple times I've gotten into situations in big pots where the other guy ends up making the last bet on the river, and i call him. I look at him, waiting for him to show his cards, and he says something like "you got it" or "you're good", but he's not mucking his cards, he's still holding on to them.

I know that from a rules standpoint I can force him to show his cards if he made the last action, and I also know if I have a killer hand it's pretty rude to do that.

But let's say I've got a one pair hand, nothing that's going to get me accused of slowrolling.

Is it rude to sit there and wait until he either shows his hand or mucks? Or if he tells me that I'm good should I just show my winner and move on?

I've called down my opponent busted flush draw with ace high in a tournment, and with the same sittuation after an awkward moment he said I told you your good, turned his hand up and the dealer said pair of dueces and waited for me to show down. I just held my cards than the jigg was up! I showed and lost. WTF dealer?

No, if he mucks and you have your cards you win. Some casinos allow any player involved in the hand to demand to see both hands face up, in which case his would be pulled from the muck and yours would be tabled as well.

It's an "anti-collusion" rule, often abused by players simply wanting more information. In live poker it's rude to demand to see both hands unless you really suspect collusion.

Online poker is awsome; we can secretly look at all the mucked cards without causing a fuss.

I love how people still don't know this. At Party 5/10 last night someone lied to me about their hand even after it was tabled and mucked. I had called a small raise all-in with 9c9x on a JcXcXc board. I hit a 9 on the turn to beat his JdTh. After the hand he's like "You hit a two outer! I had the Tc so I had you dead to rights!" Hahahahahaha!
