Message: [QUOTE="fcumred, post: 858607, member: 37796"] In a live game, can someone answer the following questions as this situation caused a heated debate in a local casino with the TD not actually knowing what the correct procedure should be. ( yes I know thats strange but hes not really au fait with the rules of poker, just the dealing side ). When the hand reaches the river and both players have checked once the river card has come over, then can you tell me 1) Do both players have have to show their cards to the table if one player has revealed his and the other knows he has the worst hand. Can the losing player refuse to reveal his hand and throw his cards straight into the muck. 2) When its been checked down then who is responsible for laying down their cards first revealing their hand. Anyone able to tell me what the proper ruling is ? [/QUOTE]
