Who shows first?

[tikay]

down my local they ask after every showdown as routine, people not in the hand ask as well. The funny thing is that i don't think they have any idea what to do with the info anyway, morons.

At the £750 event in Luton a couple of weeks ago I saw a free flop in the big blind with 84. The flop brought two eights, and the river brought the case eight. I bet and the other guy called. I immediately said 'there's the other eight' and turned it over. My opponent had a pained expression on his face and mucked. I started raking in my chips.

'What's your other card?' says one of the other players.

I said 'A four, I think', and turn it over. 'Now you know I don't raise limpers out of the big blind with 84 and I'll probably value bet quads on the river'.

There is nothing wrong with that - you have to show both cards to take the pot at showdown.

Can I ask - Andrew flips over his 8 and the other guy mucks - does he now have to show the other card?

Some ridic rulings down my local casino - if I call a bet on river and guy insta-mucks do I still need to flip?

The rule is Universal - you MUST show your hand to claim the Pot. All of it. In Omaha, not just the two that count, but all of them.

Of course, there are common-sense rules too, & like the string-betting rule, sometimes common-sense gets a slap in the chops, & someone makes a daft request.

Thanks, as I thought.  Guy tried to muck his hand after the other player had mucked the other day at the Gala and there was a mini-uproar!

technically right but completely pointless in this instance.

not pointless as his other card may be another 8 or another card matching the board making it a foul deck.  Obv never going to happen but i think tht is the point of showing both cards.

Obviously never going to happen? Id be a little more careful!

I once played in a regional final of a large comp and got busted. As i stood at the bar i saw this hand at the table closest.

Board of 

Player one shows his trips he has 

Player two says hang on a minute and shows his 

A quick flick through the deck reveals the  is there two.

Its a shame someone didnt have pocket jacks and the other 3 hit the board. Could you imagine trying to keep a straight face so you could declare you had the stone cold nut quinteplet jacks!
