The last two are pretty standard, but the first one has something that's not the norm: usually you HAVE to show your cards to claim any part of the pot, even if your opponent has mucked and you're the only one left, for game security / anti-collusion reasons.

Incidentally, are you from Melbourne Australia?  If so that'd mean you're talking about Crown right?

[i]Technically[/i] the last aggressor doesn't have the option of mucking there: the poker room rules state clearly that "the player being called will then expose his/her cards" (12.5.4, [url]https://www.crownmelbourne.com.au/getmedia/c530f215-e399-459e-b3d7-189c76f49b5d/1506-09-Crown-Melbourne-Casino-Poker-Rules-V13.pdf.aspx)[/url].  There's no "unless they want to muck" option, it's just stated that they [b]will[/b] expose their cards.  It then says that the other player(s) will show their cards if they're holding something of equal or higher value.

Now I know from experience playing there this isn't always what happens: quite often you'll get to the end of the hand and the players will just stare at each other in that "you show - no you show" way, sometimes they'll be even more obtuse and say something like "I've got a pair - so do I how big is yours" and generally waste a bunch of time until the dealer insists that somebody turns over.
