Default Re: Any rule on mucking 1 card only?

Obviously the OP is implying that we're talking about hold'em, but FWIW, I believe general poker rules require showing a full hand for the game in question. So for example, in Omaha high, you never play more than two of your four cards, but you must show them all. (I've only played O8 in a cardroom, but I believe this to be true for OH as well.)

The only exception is, I seem to recall a thread about an arcane way to play the board by saying "I play the board". In this case I inferred that you could toss your hole cards into the muck, but I haven't confirmed this rule to be in effect in any cardrooms I've visited.
