Why? If you didn't want to show the crap hand you were trying to call/bluff with. It wouldn't be a problem.

:D

161184, if you call a bet and lose being forced to show your hand is against the rules!

EG. Why would a player want to give free information about how they play their hand?

If a hand doesn't win whether it's a strong hand, drawing hand or complete air you should be allowed to muck rather than showing the whole table how you play high pairs, draws etc.

Likewise you should be able to show your cards when you win without a showdown whether you're showing a bluff or the nuts.

Once you've being playing longer you might understand this simple yet crucial part of the game and the rules of poker.

Dude, I understand the game. But you're not going to get that here. You should know by now.

161, I take it that you agree with me then and your first post was just a wind up.

; )

I know that the play here is more like bingo, but I would still like to muck cards or show cards. And most of all I'd just like standard hold'em rules to be applied.
