OR... just show down your hand like a good boy. Dont try to cheat the rules... just do it. You lost the hand. Sorry - you gotta pay the price to see the winning hand and part of that is giving up the info on the losing hand.

This is one of the dumbest responses I've seen. Even if what I suggested was breaking the rules - which it is not - the rule is there for a reason, and when it is being abused for another reason I have no problem with breaking it.

I suggested mucking quickly before anyone can ask to see your hand - that is certainly NOT against the rules. Showing a losing hand is not the price of calling down, the money it costs to call is.

Dumbest response aside, I still dont get why everyone is in such a huff about showing down your losing cards. You were the idiot that went to showdown with a loser. Admit you sucked and move on.

Personally, I think everyone should show down cards and mucking should be against the rules. But I would imagine that I am in the minority.
