Is this a strange rule?
I called another player's bet on the river, he showed me the winning hand, so I mucked. He then asked the dealer to see my cards and the dealer picked them up off the pile and showed the whole table. Maybe I've been playing online too much, but this rule seems like complete BS. I later asked the floorman and he actually said it was alright.
Is this rule out of the ordinary? It would be different if I made the river bet, but I didn't.

Re: Is this a strange rule?
This is the rule at the Hard Rock Seminole casinos in Florida, I know that for sure. If you call down to the river, someone can request to see your cards.

Re: Is this a strange rule?
The floor was right, but the rule is there to prevent collusion. I would have asked the floor to explain the rule and why it is there. Next time someone asked to see my hand I would ask them who they think I am colluding with before the dealer shows my hand.

Re: Is this a strange rule?
In theory, they have the right to see your hand on the river as part of the showdown....
it's USUALLY declared by an observer, not the other player, (since he obviously would know he's not colluding with you) - so in that part, it's pretty stupid. and this is enforced online in the sense that if you have a showdown and pull up the hand history, you will get to see what the opponent's hand was in the text (at least for Party/Pokerstars) but then you get into the whole "cards touched the muck" thing, and I would think that kills it....but who knows... hope you took him for all his chips later.

You can find an article by Tommy Angelo on the topic here: Tommy Article It's rude to use it just to gain information, however. Regards, T

Re: Is this a strange rule?
In almost every live cardroom I have ever been in, any player can ask to see any called hand. The dealer must touch it to the muck and "kill it" before they can turn a discarded hand face up tho.
