My biggest cash win yet - and apart from being absolutely delighted (I needed that one ), I am a bit confused.

After I showed my hand, my opponent mucked.
So how can I know that he mucked 5 5??
Surely I shouldn't know this.

Depends what site youre playing on Cloud. Some let you see the mucked hands and some dont. Crypto for instance (WilliamHill, InterPoker etc) they let you see them in the hand history which is always nice. Ladbrokes and Prima software (bet365, StanJames etc) dont let you see mucked hands.

The funny thing for me was that there was a player called "quad nutz" on the board..

[Cloud]

Well I didn't know that Mr.Muzeman.
I was always under the impression that if you mucked - your cards were sacred.

And you know what, i was concentrating so hard that i didn't even notice "Quad Nutz" - very much unlike me not to notice - I'm always on the lookout for silly names etc for my blog.

Its a neat little feature Cloud. What site was that on mate? All cryptologic software you can see mucked hands, dont know about anywhere else.

I always check it when I win a pot against a mucked hand, just take a wee peak at the hand history and bingo. Its good for 2 reasons (probably more but hey ho)

1. You get to see if your reads are correct

2. The experience of seeing that players call pot sized bets with bottom pair, Ace Kicker with no heart - when theres 4 hearts on the board - is wholly satisfying

Full Tilt - wish I'd realised earlier!!

[robilaruk]

he didn't muck though - he called you

so whether it shows on the screen is neither here nor there, he called and so there is a showdown

Most sites do this, though you have to look at the HH to see - normally if you are both AI, then there is a visable showdown

He did call and muck too, muck and fold are different things although people say them as the same sometimes. You can never see folded cards EVER (be sweet if you could! as long as no one could see mine )

[GotaFancy?]

If you have poker office running, and mucked hands are stored in the hand history, then it will overlay the cards onto the table, so no need to search them out
