4 - story to follow regarding a similar situation.

You do realize that the entire table had the right (in many/most casinos) to see his hand?

But not the right to grab the cards. You ask the dealer to expose them. Everyone seems to have been wrong in this woeful tale.

I agree totally. But most dealers would just muck them and ignore a request to see them. A good dealer, I believe, would expose them on his own, telling the player, "Sir, if you show one player, you must show all."

Yes, everyone had the right to see the cards. I DO understand that.
No, she didn't have the right to grab them anyhow. Totally crossed the line.

I'm curious what others have to say about your claim that a "good dealer would show them and inform the player of the show one show all rule." My limited experience is that this rule is enforced only if someone else asks to see the cards.

Everyone at the table was wrong.

No, they wouldn't. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but the gentleman made a bet that was uncalled and chose to show one card. In no way does that entitle someone to see his other card. This is FOR SURE not the rule in Atlantic City cardrooms and I don't believe it is common to have a show one, show both rule in the event of someone winning with an uncalled bet. Places that have this rule shouldn't, imo.

Trace back and you will see I am talking about a different story, where:

He shows his cards to the fat lady to his left.

and that I am talking about the nearly universal "Show one player, show all players" rule, not "Show one card, show both cards".

No way should a dealer do this. If a player asks they are entitled to see them, but that does not mean a dealer should show them with no request being made.
