Default HighStakesPoker Question

I'm I correct in this statement about HighStakesPoker?
Before the flop, if the player does not play the hand, they do not show the two hole cards...ever?

THis is incorrect, but it does seem at times that maybe if the players know they are folding trash, they don't bother showing the cams.

Could I get a couple more "yes you are correct" I want to win a bet with someone. The only other proof would be to watch every show to see, and I did that.
Plus was there a reason stated for them not showing hands they didn't play?
Thank you for the help.

I think your statement is incorrect. Most times they do not show folded cards preflop, but I seem to recall seeing some cards that were folded, something like 78s or j7s that the announcers seemed to think was a close decision.

i am pretty sure if they limp and fold to a raise that they show the players hole cards so it seems like they do sometime show the holecards if they don't see the flop.

I am pretty sure if they just fold pf they dont show the cards, but if they limp/fold then they do.

I'm pretty sure if there was a person contemplating calling a raise freflop who hadn't acted yet and ended up folding they show their cards.
