    Playing in a hand with 3 others. Board is awful and it's checked down. After the river is dealt, it's checked to the player to my right who just mucks his cards, assuming (rightly as it happens) that he's beaten (bb shows a 44). Do I have the right to see his cards, as technically he should have checked and shown, with no bet made? Or is he saving showing a really bad hand by losing all rights to the a split pot?

    Why would you have the right to see his hand?

    he's paid to see the flop doesn't like the turn/river and folds, technically nothing, he doesn't have to check and show, maybe he was chasing a straight/flush draw didn't make it so folds.

    You have absoloutley no right to see cards here.

    Yeah, that's what I thought. It seems like a slightly weird act to me, though. You still have a chance at a split pot, and checking down the flop turn and river proves to everyone that you called the bb with sh*te, so why fold?

    Doesn't prove anything, you can only assume, you have no idea what he had, why bother give any information at all?

    I don't think it's weird, I've seen it alot
