Force Bets, Frieberg Calls, And Force Mucks?


Recommended Posts

I know often times when someone bets on a bluff and gets called they just tap the table and say "you win" and its over. However, Im pretty sure Frieberg asked to see Force's hand and Force just tossed it into the muck without showing. Isn't Force obligated to show since frieberg wanted to see it? this seems like another example of the wsop being run horribly, between this and the allowance of all of jamie golds questionable collusive statements.

You're correct. I would have made the dealer show it.

WRONG
hey n00b, shut up, you dont know anythingForce doesn't have to show even though he is the better, however, if anyone asks to see his hand, he MUST show it. If no one asks to see it before he mucks, then he doesnt have to showcan we please have the 30/30/30 rule

pretty sure?
well, ive never actually played a live tourney before and in my home games we usually have people that dont know the exact rules as to who shows first so the betting hand often gets mucked if its no good, but my understanding of the rules has always been that the bettor shows his hand first and if he mucks it because it was a bluff and anyone wants to see it they have to show

pretty sure Im not, since force was the one who bet, that means he shows first.
he doesnt have to. If the caller shows first for whatever reason, agian, he may fold unless someone asks him

i believe frieberg said "I call, now show me your cards" as he flipped his hand over. His meaning maye have been "Im probaby beat but I call anyway" but his actual words could be interpreted as requiring force to show his hand

hey,I'm going to poker dealer school so i am very sure of the ruling here, force was obligated to show. when the hand goes to showdown both are supposed to show, at my school they say if ppl hesitate to show because they want to save face make them both turn them up at the same time with no lolligagging. if the winner of the hand asks for the person to show then the person who wanted to muck has to show but has a live hand, if any other person at the table asks to see the cards, which they are entitled to see, the hand will be considered dead. My teach told us to make sure you, "kill" the hand before showing by tapping against the muck pile though.

5. Any player who has been dealt in may request to see any hand that is eligible to participate in the showdown, even if the opponent's hand or the winning hand has been mucked. However, this is a privilege that may be revoked if abused. If a player other than the pot winner asks to see a hand that has been folded, that hand is dead. If the winning player asks to see a losing player’s hand, both hands are live, and the best hand wins.This is from near bottom of page at:http://www.readybetgo.com/poker/rules/gene...-rules-217.htmlBob Ciaffone is a recognized expert.

If Force mucks his hand he is giving up the hand even if Friberg has nothing. (Edit) OK Im 90 % sure he doesnt have to show... Ive been in this situation live when ive asked for a person to show and they threw there cards into the muck. If I'm wrong then lots of dealers dont have the rule right either.

Only a f@g and a sorry poker player asks to see another mans hand. And if youre not involved in the hand, then youre a double f@g. If a man mucks, take it down and shut your hole. That rule was only created to protect against cheating, not to let you know what you got called with... Im feeling that thats what this thread was kinda about since Ive been hearing people say they think Gold was cheating... But Im just pointing that out. Cuz im sure a lot of people here ask to see other players hands... if you do, youre prolly the douchebag wearing the hat, headphones and sunglasses I always see at my table.

Funny story concerning this same topic, but in a cash game...$10/$20 limit at my local casino. Two players on the river. Player 1 bets, player 2 calls and at the same time flips up his hand. Player 1 says "its good" and goes to muck. Before player 1 can muck, player 2 asks to see his losing hand. Player 1 flipped up his hand and it was the winner! He didnt realize he had a straight againest player 2's top pair. But because player 2 was in the hand and asked to see player 2's cards his hand was still live. If another player that folded some point in the hand before the river asked to see player 1's cards his hand would be dead even if it was the winner (that is, if player 1 says he has the loser and is in the process of mucking).And yes, it is HORRIBLE FORM and you will be known as the table as$hole if you do it.Oh, also it was a pretty decent sized pot and Player 2 ended up tilting from it and lost 3 buy-ins. It was my friend that was player 2 and after the game I really laid into him for asking to see a losing hand. He hasnt done it since.

You're wrong, the Casinos and players you go to are just bad. If you are the bettor, and you get called, you have to show. PERIOD. In fact, if I called your bet I wont even show my hand until the bettor does. AND, if he doesn't want to show, then I will request the hand to be shown.

We are talking about when Villian is the bettor, and you call him. Fag.
