While playing in a friendly home game, a player showed his discards to one player but refused to show to others. I said that casino rules would force the player to show the cards to all at the table. Was I correct or wrong?

Most poker rooms I've played in have a "show one, show all" rule regarding mucked cards. This rule prevents individual players from gaining information not available to other players and assures the table that there is nothing unsavory going on like collusion. This rule may be unevenly enforced by the dealer, but usually if another player mentions it, the dealer will show the table.
However, friendly home games are a bit different. If it's truly a friendly game, it's often better to let slight breaches in etiquette pass without saying anything. Few people enjoy playing for micro or low stakes with an enforcer at the table. If the players are more serious about the game, then your comments might be better appreciated.

properly once all gamers have ended their round of making a chance after the river card, you bypass in a clockwise rotation from the broking's button and the first individual shows their playing cards, if participant B can beat that, he/she ought to tutor their playing cards, if participant C can not beat that hand, he/she will "muck" their playing cards and under no circumstances provide any ideas away, like how they performed trash playing cards, or in case you've been chasing a plausible flush, no matter if it truly is plausible under no circumstances provide any ideas away. in case you lost a hand, purely muck and start up yet another one. good success on your next sport. And sure if someone shows one card, they ought to expose both playing cards, also if say there is 3 human beings at a table and the winner only shows one individual what they'd, the participant that did not see the playing cards, they have a top to attraction to close what they were.

The rule in truth is that you can not show to a selected one or few before the hand ends.
The reason: Those remaining in the hand may have the advantage of information that others in the hand do not have.
Before the hand ends, it is proper to muck, however.
At the end of the hand, you can show to one or all, but etiquette says show to all.
Strategy says you should usually muck! (so that others do not know what you were up to)

Your right but I don't know why you would want to show people your cards if you didn't have to anyway. Doing this can give people a large advantage because they can see how you play with certain cards and so on. But, if you show one, you have to show all, because of the advantage you give away.

I dont kow if there is an offical rule or not, but it is VERY bad form and a breech of pocker etiquette. I know I would be irritated if i were at the table. But i guess if no one cares, you can make up what ever house rules you want.

The casino rules are "show one, show all".
At home, the rules are whatever's agreed on in advance.

Show one, show all, it's a pretty standard rule for all poker rooms

If you are the one called, you have to show your cards to everyone. Otherwise, you don't have to show your cards, but if you do, you have to show them to everyone-you can't pick and chose.
