Is telling the dealer to flip over the losing hand after it has been mucked bad etiquette?
I was in a poker tournament, nothing too serious just a $10 satellite to get into a $400 buy in tournament. The game is a lot of rec and new players that sometimes don’t know a lot of etiquette or even how to play. (I’ll give a funny example of this at the end.) I tried to push a semi-bluff (67 of spades on an AAQ53 two spades on flop) through and I got called by trip aces. I almost certainly knew if I got called it was probably by an ace, well I got called by A7. He flips over his ace and I muck my cards. The guy then goes wait hold on I wanted to see what he had and the dealer flips over my cards out of the muck. Is this bad etiquette? No one else at the table seemed to think so. I don’t feel like it would’ve been bad etiquette if he asked to see before I mucked, but making the dealer pull out and show my bluff didn’t sit right with me. Maybe I’m just mad I lost the hand so please let me know. I ended up coming back and knocking that dude out so I’m not particularly mad about that single hand it just seemed like bad etiquette.
Funny story about this game: A woman comes to the table she’s clearly not experienced but has played some poker casually. There’s no line on the table to indicate when a player mucks cards so it up to the dealers to decide if they folded or not. The board comes out 7-2-3 and a guy bets into her. She pushes her cards away like she’s folding so the dealer takes her cards and the dude turns over his set of 7’s. She then goes “wait wait wait, I didn’t want to fold.” The dealer had already awarded the pot and she seemed genuinely frustrated about it. We all tried to explain that even if she didn’t want to fold, it probably worked out for the best for her. She then goes wait hold “no I wanted to bet that I had “pockets”. (She kept saying she had pockets all night long I don’t think she meant just a pocket pair.) Anyways she just never fully comprehended that she had the worst hand and was talking about it all night when everyone was trying to explain to her that she was behind and probably would’ve lost and that if anyone should be mad it is not her it’s the dude that had the set of 7s.
