There is always dispute among my friends in our live home games regarding when someone must show their hand. So I want to clarify a few rules and the ethical way.

1. If the river goes check check then the first to show the hand starts from the SB regardless of the pre river action right?

2. If I got called on the river and the caller instantly shows me his hand then I can simply muck my cards or is it considered unethical to not show in this situation?

3. I call a river all in with the nuts and instantly announce what I have but I don't open my cards and tell the aggressor that I want to see his hand before I will show mine. I know I can do this but is it considered an ethical thing to do?

A second example is where I call a bluff and the player announces that he has nothing. Now in this instance does it get unethical to force someone to show their bluff?

4. In a big pot with multiple players one goes all in on the turn. In a side pot I bet the river and get called. Now do I show the hand before the all in player? Does the player who called me show before the all in player?

5. If 2 players go all in before the river can they mutually decide not to have an open showdown?

6. Can someone win a hand by only showing one card to the table? Like on a 4 to a flush board someone shows just the ace and takes the pot. Can I object to this and demand to see the second card?
