No, I'm announcing my hand.
So do you suggest I say "Ok, nobody muck - everyone turn over your hand, there's a straight on the board!"?
What if I just table my hand and let the dealer read my hand? Does that mean the dealer is colluding with me when he announces "Straight" and pushes each card up about a tenth of an inch?
This is live poker played for real cash, it's cut throat / dog eat dog. We're not sitting there having a tea party. Competition is what it is but I do understand it might be a little too harsh for some people. As a law student, don't you realize that?
