I'd just ask the guy to turn his hand over and chop and explain to him that he always has to show to claim a pot

No way would I be chopping the pot If I had tabled my hand and the other guy had mucked his cards.

Rules state you must show two cards to claim a pot even when playing the board. Harsh but the guy would quickly learn his lesson!!

the TJ clouiter story goes like this (not sure it was actually him tho...)

He's involved in a pot for a large % of his stack when he realizes that the dealer has taken his cards, he then puts his hands on the table to conceal the place where his cards WOULD BE so it looks like he just covering his cards with his hands.

He then went all in or jammed on someone w/e and everyone folded and he got the pot Smiley

The difference here is that its a SHOWDOWN, in order to win at SHOWDOWN, you have to show your cards SIMPLES.
Reasoning for this is as MANTIS says its just an opportunity to police for foul play.

SHOWDOWN = SHOW BOTH CARDS and there are no exceptions.

I have heard the phrase 'I'm playing the board' used with 2 checks after the river and seen the pot split.

cos the rule is that you have to show to get the money - the player with cards can split as a concession in cash, but he simply doesn't have the authority to offer a split in a tourney because his decision affects everyone in the tourney.

TWO CARDS HAVE TO BE SHOWN TO CLAIM A POT,IF YOU RELAX THAT RULE HOW LONG BEFORE A CHEAT THROWS HIS CARDS INTO THE MUCK WHEATHER ITS A PLAY THE BOARD SITUATION OR NOT AND ACTUALEY KEEPS ONE CARD BACK IN ORDER TO CHEAT THEN WHEN FEARFUL HES ABOUT TO BE EXPOSED MUCKS THREE CARDS STRAIGHT INTO DISCARDED PILE IF DEALER IS SLOPPY,....PLAYER PASSES DEALER SHOULD SPREAD CARDS FACE DOWN TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE TWO THEN INTO MUCK
