An extreme situation would be if you call with the lowest possible hand in holdem (like 23 when the board is AKQJ9) and you politely demand to see his hand instead of just conceding the pot when he tells you you're good.
This is precisely what happened in the OP. Hero held 54, board was something like 23J99. Villain led out every street, Hero put him on busted flush draw, didn't have enough chips to raise him out, so went with the value call, lol, and it worked.
V even said, "You're good," as you describe, but mucked at the same time, there was no insisting by Hero that the cards be tabled. He just sat there quietly after calling, collected his moneyz, and then could not resist showing his play to the table (who could fault him for that, tho?).
I stand by my original summary, "I called a huge bet with nothing...", as I don't see how the various degrees of nothing are a factor here.
