Default Re: Why can\'t you muck losing hands on Party?

That's what I mean. In the hand history. It doesn't show in hand history in cryptos.

The reason it does, is that it is within the rules for a player to request to see anyone's hand at showdown. You can do this at your local casino, and they will show you the hand (if it hasn't hit the muck yet), but you won't be the most popular guy at the table.

The reason the rule is there in casinos is to help detect and prevent collusion, and it doesn't really succeed in doing that. Unfortunately, you'll get angle-shooters who will demand to see folded hands at the showdown just to get information about how their opponents play. I don't like the fact that Party and its skins offer this information, but since they do, anyone who plays there should be aware of it and make use of it.
