If you are a player of O8 which I am assuming you are based on several of your previous posts, you will know that many times players just show two cards and muck the other two and take down pots without their hands being killed or being issued a warning. It is pretty irritating to see it as often as I see it and never any other time seeing a hand get killed other than my own time which was a large pot and I never received a warning either. Other than playing O8 at the Sands, I strictly played it online as well as home games so I was never aware of the rule until my hand was killed. As often as Sands loves handing out warnings to players it was just crappy to learn the rule by having my hand killed without a benefit of a warning myself. Did you play in the game last night Blue?? It went strong until about 3AM with a good waitlist for majority of night after opening at 7PM. If you did play last night which player were you??
Every experienced PLO or O8 players KNOWS that all cards must be shown to be shipped a pot (at showdown). That's a basic basic rule.
If that's occurred then the dealer in those hands was in the wrong. You can't be upset when another dealer actually enforces the correct rules.
Like BLUE said, mucking any card (let alone 2) counts as a full hand muck. You don't get warnings for mucking cards. You get awarning for showing a card(s) while action is looming, betting out of turn...etc.
Showing down 2 cards and tossing the others in is simply a mucked hand.
Protect your hand sir.
