Yo guys

I got a question when it comes to the rules of live poker.

Let's say we are on the river heads up, im in position. The player bets, i call and he' s trying to muck his hand. Do i have a right to ask the dealer to show me his hand? I mean for me that would be logical, i paid his bet and i want to see his hand.

anyone got any idea?

You most definitely can ask to see his cards. Most people get testy about things like that though. I would say if it is really important to you to get a read on the person then ask to see them. He may complain about it, but that may not matter depending on your disposition.

At my casino you have the right to see them but, I very rarely ask, if they are flipped over before being mucked they are live and can win the pot. I usually let a bluffer lose with a little dignity but, I guess you could argue that you're losing information that you paid for.
