Allow hold cards face down when no one bets on the river

Post by cqpoker »

There should be a feature enable/disable whether you want people to see your losing hold cards after the river. In the often scenario where no one bets on the river - the shown hand should only be the hold cards while the losing player should have an option to show their hands or not. This is very common with other poker sites. None betters don't wants other players to see what hands they are playing with.

Sorry for the grammar...trying to do a few things at once.

Basically what I'm trying to say is the the winner of the hand should only be shown when everyone checked at the river. Currently it shows everyone hands and it would be nice to have a feature that gives the player an option to show their losing hands or not.

Whenever there is a showdown, anyone can ask the dealer to see mucked hands. The way sites like PokerStars handle this is to prompt everyone but regardless of what they select, their cards get written to the hand history, where other players can click a button and see them anyway. So it's basically a waste of time to perform the prompts.
