Follow up question - PP hand histories

[tom]

Sorry, another question (I new to this online functionality stuff, and so dont flame me too badly), but a follow-up question:

If you don't call the bet at showdown (and muck), can the villian still see your cards? Also, can the cards be seen if you fold preflop?

[Yeti]

No and no.

thanks. that is what i thought, but i wanted to confirm, since some of my opponents have said (in chat) that they knew what i had (even when i folded to a bet).

my lesson: never believe what your opponents say in the chat box.
