[SIZE=3]I used to play in a regular Sunday afternoon one table pub game, £5 buy in, one extra buy in, plus add on allowed, and it was considered a polite courtesy playing for such low stakes to show your hole cards at the showdown.[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=3]We were basically a social gathering enjoying a few pints and a game of cards together. [/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=3]Two of the guys left the game permanently, and two more came in. At the first showdown, one of the new guys insisted he didn’t have to show his hole cards, and it was impolite of us to have asked. We argued the point that because he had often been in the pub and watched the games, he has an advantage over all of us, and as a consequence we should carry on the same.[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=3]The following week, the two new guys continued to make their point, “Well we have been playing at a Casino every Saturday for weeks now, and we don’t have to show our loosing hole cards”.[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=3]When the pub landlord stuck up for them, probably his best two customers! We all decided enough was enough and started our own home games.[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=3]We played for fun, and some of the best banter involved seeing the hole cards from an attempted bluff at the showdown![/SIZE]
