Default Re: Cards Speak For Themselves

Yes, usually it's "cards speak for themselves" unless specified otherwise.

So in such cases the best hand at showdown will win, regardless of what people declare (otherwise, you could have someone declaring a straight or flush when they only have 4 of the 5 cards needed, and someone with trips might muck their hand and surrender the pot without realizing their opponent didn't actually make their hand)
