Anybody remember which rooms have this rule? I volunteer to call up and ask what they do in this situation.
I'll bet the Connecticut rooms have this rule (I've never been there), because the New Hampshire players I deal to, all get bent out of shape when I push a pot to a guy without requiring him to show his cards (and everyone who claims knowledge of any rule always backs it up with a loud, "That's how they do it at Foxwoods!").
I reply, "If he doesn't show, is there anything else I can do with this money but ship it to him?" But they're not interested in logic, they want it done "the right way".
