why did i bother?

(1/5) > >>

antthecat:
i was playing at my local venue and a certain situaton came up:

villan and i had got to the river, i bet and he calls, he showed  :as: only for a paired ace, i flipped over my bluff  qh js, he mucks and i say "my pot then" as he did not show both cards, this caused a argument as i was 99% sure that holdem is a two hole card game and both must be shown for the winning hand, as he only shown one then mucked he did not prove to have a winning hand but the other players were saying that his paired ace counts.

its not that my bluff got called is what was annoying but i wish people would play by the rules and show all hole cards to claim a pot.

btw was i right or wrong with my point? please help

Mikeyboy9361:
Not really an expert on the rules. But if the shown Ace wins the pot for him, then I would just give him the pot, and I would have thought that would be the case in nearly all pub games. And I would have thought the same goes for Casinos IMHO.

monkeyman:
I"m with Mikey. If his Ace has paired and you"ve hit nothing, unlucky. I don"t believe there is a rule which backs you up in this situation and even if there was I think you"re being a little disingenious by trying to claim any part of this pot. You lost, try again next time.

linziwan:
I disagree with the decision to give him the money - I am sure that both cards need to be shown to claim the pot. The dealer should have asked him to show both cards.

deanp27:
need to show both hole cards to take a pot - see what happened to Roland De Wolfe in the EPT
