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.
