Consider two players at showdown in tournament poker. One player mucks his hand face down; does the only remaining player have to show his hand if requested by another player at the table?
This issue came up for me today. I refused to show – since in my opinion it doesn’t matter what my cards are as I am now the only player with cards – I win,plain and simple. However, one of the other players called the floor, who subsequently ruled in my favor and I did not show. But the player bitched and bitched for the better part of an hour about how I have to show – I’m just wondering,my belief is that NO, I don’t have to show!
