Re: showdown rule in home poker
[ QUOTE ]
Technically - anyone at a table can ask to see an unshown hand. You will be tossed from a casino for asking too many time to see a hand IF you were not in the showdown. You will never be penalized for asking to see an opponents hand if you were actually in the showdown with him. Your opponent may not like having to show - but if he doesn't want to show he should duck out before getting a chance to win the pot... [/ QUOTE ] Technically, this rule is designed to prevent cheating, not to give your unattentive weak-tight butt an excuse to see everyone's cards. You do this a few times in my home game and you'll be picking up your teeth.

[/ QUOTE ] The reason NOT to show your cards is to deprive others at the table of information - otherwise, you'd just show at every single showdown. (Note the word Show in showdown [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ). If I want to know what they had when they called me on the flop, or on the turn - I've a perfectly valid right to that info. Obviously at the end of the hand, they didnt' have a real hand - but I may want to know whether he was chasing a flush or bluffing... In those cases, I've paid to see his hand - and that's why a casino will never penalize me for asking to see it. I don't think there's any bad form at all in a player who's in a hand at the end asking to see what someone else brought to a showdown - and then decided not to show.
