Re: easiest solution
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] There is nothing idiotic about having a losing hand at the river. You had pot odds to draw, you missed, now it's checked around. Someone shows a winner, you muck, and then someone asks to see your hand. People get upset about this because they ask only to get a line on your play, which isn't why the rule exists. If you want a game where everyone is required to show at the river just play online. [/ QUOTE ] I do play online mostly. I dont like driving 2 hours for a decent game. But my point is... what difference does it make as to what the rule was originally meant for? The fact of the matter is that it is still a rule. Until its changed, better get used to people asking, if for no other reason than to get under your skin. [/ QUOTE ] Fortunatly if someone is abusing this rule, the floor can and will revoke the priviledge of seeing the cards. It isn't just the original intent, it is the current intent; asking to see someone's cards is the same as saying "I think you are cheating." |

I Do Not Think Asking to See Someone\'s Hands is Rude
I don't think asking to see someone's hand is rude. If I get in a pot and someone is raising me and re-raising me I want to know if they are raising w/ legit hands or if they are bullying. When I accuse someone of cheating (which is almost NEVER), I'll tell them to their face in clear language.
Winning in poker is about information and I want the info on the kind of hands I'm being raised with. The tougher/more aggressive my opponent, the more likely I will want to see the hands they are showing down against me. |

Most players quit asking to see hands when it is explained to them that what they are doing is rude and is accusing the player of cheating. |

************************************************** *** According to you and tradition. Screw tradition. I want to see if they are bullying with trash or if they are legit. If that makes me unpopular with the table then that is the price I pay. |
