Must a Winning Hand Show ALL Cards? (11 Viewers)

[Santa123]

this is an old thread but honestly, a muck is a muck.

I think it all comes down to house rules but the most important for me is that the showdown is done quick. The pot should be awarded to the winning hand quickly and the next hand can begin.

if opponent mucks, then i do not have to show my hand at showdown since my opponent mucked and there are no more eligible cards/hands and i win by default.

I am one of your wannabes. No seriuously if you win the pot at showdown you have to show all your holecards. Not one. All your holecards. And it doesnt matter if your oppenent already mucked. Just show your damn hand

Definitely with you on the quick. Miserable having people glance at eachother after the last bet is called, especially at a game with lots of older gentlemen who love to slow roll each other. Always insta-show at showdown.

I can't agree with the second point though, if my opponent mucks his bluff I muck my winner after I take the pot to make sure to tilt the info-mooks who folded to my min-raise.

yeah agreed, house rules are house rules. and speed of play is always a consideration

but i do not want to show my hand if i dont have to. sometimes im bluff catching with broadway high and when my opponent says "youre good" i want to make damn sure I'm good by forcing him to show or muck before i show or muck. its part of the game IMO. the only exception where ill show a "youre good" hand is top pair or better. if they nitroll me and have top pair beat, those are fighting words at that point

Rio Bravo, player A preflop bets $5.50; player B raises to $11; player C calls.

Player B takes main pot, no one cares about his Rio Bravo card.

What's Rio Bravo? Results I get are a really old movie and the RB card being an item in Red Dead Redemption 2.
