Unless you're all rooting against me, in which case please continue to stfu.

Here's one that kinda made me look like an ass on 6th street:
4/8 limit holdem
utg posts a live straddle, folds to me in the HJ, I 3 bet KTo, cutoff calls, button calls, blinds fold, straddler caps and everyone calls.
K96r
checks to me, I bet, cutoff calls, button folds, straddler calls.
Jo
checks to me, I bet, cutoff calls, straddler calls.
T
checks to me, I check, cutoff bets, straddler calls, I call.
Now the whole table is looking at the cutoff, who doesn't seem to understand that since he bet, he must show if he wants to claim the pot. The dealer informs the cutoff that it's his turn to show. The cutoff reluctantly declares "two pair" as he flips over T9o. Then he immediately looks at me, while the straddler looks at his cards hoping that they had somehow changed. Cutoff says to me, "whatddyagot?" I reply, "It's his turn to show." pointing to the straddler. The cutoff is not amused by this and says something that indicates his displeasure in the circumstance. The straddler finally mucks and I instantly table my hand and declare "Kings up." The cutoff says something else to me like "why didn't you show your hand?" and I reply, "because if he(the straddler) shows a better hand then I don't have to show. I wasn't trying to be a jerk about it. Sorry if that's how it came off." Cutoff says, "yeah that's how it seemed." Then the dealer explained the proper showdown order and a few other players agreed that there was no wrong doing. However, although I played 6th street by the book, I felt that I could've played it differently, which would have been better for the table atmosphere. My feelings were confirmed as the cutoff quit as soon as the big blind came around. The tragedy was that he quit, and it was my fault. The game is obviously much better with a guy that calls three cold with T9o than without. So in that regard, yes I was an ass this time.
