Dealer keeps showing people my cards

[SNOWBALL138]

This is a recurring problem for me. I call to the river and lose. I muck my hand, and someone at the table says "I want to see that hand". Dealer pulls my cards out of the muck and shows them.

One time I called the floor on this one woman because she kept asking the dealer for my cards. The floor agreed that she was abusing the rule. Lastnight, I called the floor when a woman who asked to see my cards got the dealer to retrieve them from the muck and then started screaming at me when I told her that she was being rude.

The floor said "she has the right to see your hand"
I said "she's abusing the rule"
Floor says "everyone has the right to see your hand"
I say "Are you telling me that I have to show my cards on the river everytime even when I don't bet? Thats not poker, floorman"
etc, etc.

This is a pet peeve of mine. I've had this pulled on my 5 times in the last 10 hours I've been playing. Is there anything I can do? I seriously want to stop the dealer from showing my cards by eating them or something. Its driving me nuts.

Try mucking a winner.

Best solution by far.

I like this idea. You have to be sure to do it against the person who keeps asking to see your hand, and make sure your cards DONT hit the muck when you fold.

A safer alternative would be to motion like you are going to muck then ask "I suppose you want to see this hand too?" - even if she says nothing or says no, you still get to slow-roll.

hehe.. slow roll them. nice. hold your cards out ready to muck until they say "I want to see all hands". Then turn over the nuts.

If someone does it to you, every time they are in a pot at the river, ask to see their cards.

Alternatively, learn to turbo-muck.

I do turbomuck. The dealer REMOVES my cards from the muck. This is all at hollywood park of course.

I don't know if they arrange the muck or anything, but shooting your cards deep into it should make it hard to retrieve them. I find the dealer pulls out at least one wrong card 60% of the time, though my sample size is small.

Here's the thing though - once it becomes an issue, I dont even care what the cards are anymore. They are trash. Thats why they were mucked... but asking for them is going to piss you off and one less good player at the table is +ev for me.

If you need to shoot angles to have an advantage, maybe you should look at improving your game.
