what if there was jerkoff at your table who kept asking to see mucked hands at showdown? would it then be ethical to fold if you thought there was a good chance he would ask to see your hand and you think such information would hurt you?

as for online, it sounds like most of you have no idea what you are talking about. if you don't fold on the river your hand will be recorded, and i look out for my own interest first rather than thinking about protecting some guys action.
