Yes, because it is a rule in live poker that you can request to see any mucked cards after showdown. This rule was instituted to combat cheating, but it is very bad etiquette to envoke it live. To do so would suggest that cheating is suspected. I think online poker sites show the cards automatically to freely present that there is no cheating.

which site? More details ??

This situation ONLY happens if a players goes to showdown. If the first hand shown is the winning hand, the others will normally not show on the table, but would be shown in the HH's. If you fold to a bet on the river, and do not go to showdown, your cards will not be seeable.

Absolutely correct on both counts. Live and online.
