Here's the scenario:

Three players see the flop - A 8 3 rainbow. One player bets, the other two fold. Winner flashed an A, mucks his hand. One guy says that if you show one card, you must show both: "Show one, show all."

I say that "show one, show all" means that if you show your card(s) to one player, then you must show all the players NOT that if you show one card, you must show both. That's the way we've always played, so that's the house rule.

In later discussion, several people said that they had played at casinos that DO require that both cards be shown, not just one. It was agreed that this varies from place to place.

So:

1 - You are free to show one card (to all players) if you wish.

2 - You must show both cards if you show any.

3 - Technically, you should show both, but it's kind of like demanding to see someone's cards at a showdown. It's your right, but it's kind of pr*ckish unless you suspect cheating, etc.

Opinions?
