Party poker question

How come sometimes when everybody folds or a bet is not called you see the winners cards, but other times you don't. Is there a setting somewhere that allows you to show your cards after the hand?

If you don't have "auto-muck" set you can choose to show your cards at the end of a hand.

Thanks!! I didn't know that.

but! if you request the hand history to be emailed to you, you will still get to see their hand, at least on party. Can't tell you how many times i've found out people lying what they had.

I didn't know that either. Thanks

Just click hand histories and leave it open, i regulaly do this to A tease myself when folded rags make straights and boats and 2 to quickly check what the lsoer played with, helps me get a better read on people.

Hmmm...I think that sucks. That you can see what the other guy held afterwards. You could never ask to see the mucked hands on a real table so why make it possible on PP?

i have no idea, I personally would rather not have it be possible either, but since you can...

I just took a look at PP, and found that you can only see the cards of the players that play to the end. If you fold they cant see what cards you had. But if you loose the showdown others can see what you had.

I'm still not sure if I like this or not. I would imagine that most people don't look at this, but then again I'm an idiot.

I believe this is false. My brother deals at a casino boat, and what I remember him telling me is while it is highly frowned upon to make someone who loses a showdown show their cards, and the dealer will usually muck them quickly, the winner can ask to see those cards if they are not already in the muck.

Anyone out there a dealer who can confirm?

i seem to remember reading something to this effect somewhere - the caveat was that you (the winner) had to ask right away.
