Default Re: Cards live till literally touching the Muck?

Next time, if possible, wait until his cards are mucked before showing. You did not overrepresent your hand and he willingly mucked. His mistake.

I think verbally inducing your opponent to muck would be considered an "angle" play. The best hand must win the pot wherever possible, and the player who spoke up asking to see the cards was simply excercising her right to see all hands involved in a showdown.

1) This is the FARTHEST thing from an angle if the play went as written. He said "pair of 7s", which is precisely what he had. The moron who folded his 10s instead of showing them deserved to lose the pot if he mucked without being sure of what he had.

2) Someone didn't ask to see the hand. They said "you can't beat 7s?" Had the dealer been doing their job, when the 10s got tossed to them, they would have scooped them in, and the guy would have learned a valuable lesson about paying attention.
