Who has to show first?

[Mike Gallo]

So the rule is different in Atlantic City than everywhere else?

I don't know the rules everywhere else.

I know at the Borgata whoever acted last must show first.

I've never played in a casino before, but in the home games I play in, I literally have to twist some peoples arms off to get them to show their hand before I show mine. Whenever it's my turn to show first, I show as quick as possible so we can get on to the next hand and because that's just how the game is supposed to be played. But others have a constant death grip on their cards and never want to show first. Maybe I should post this question in the psychology forum...

In Edmonton we had a big tiff about this last week. 2 guys in no way they'd show before hell froze over.

Lucky the floorman was walking by and said:
Last person to show strength (i.e. bet or raise) is the first person to show.

This came up again today (well not really; some jackass rivered a miracle winner and declared that everyone had to show starting left of the button, but this was just so he could, after a dramatic pause, present his winning hand like some bad Brett Maverick movie).

Anywho, after the fact I asked the floorman at the Bicycle in LA. It's the same: Whoever initiated last action has to show first.

Read two of the other responses, evidently we do have the same rules [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
