i played in my first BM ring game this weekend at foxwoods, so i am admittedly quite new to casino poker. i was playing at a 2/4 table and there was a player who on a few occassions requested to see an opponent's losing hand after a showdown.
is this accepted practice, or even acceptable at all? i am only used to online play where losing hands will almost always be mucked. is it part of the rules that if the winning player wants to see the other hands at a showdown, they should be turned over?
i've never seen any mention of this one way or another, but it took me by surprise the first time, especially since i was the losing player in question. i showed, mainly because i was frustrated at having my set beaten by a rivered flush, but i've been wondering about it ever since.
what's the ruling on this? and if it is an acceptable move, how often do people actually do it, and would people recommend doing it as the winner in a showdown?
