When a hand is complete who needs to show there hand, who shows first, and who has a choice?

[lork]

I could be wrong, but I believe the bettor has to show first. If the bettor's hand wins, the other players who may have called the bet, I believe, have the opportunity to muck.
Experts, please correct me if I'm wrong.

True... the bettor or person first to act has to show first. The loser does not have to show their hand, BUT if the winner ask to see it... they have to show it before it reaches the mucked cards.

Actually, can't anyone who has stayed into the hand until the showdown see anyone else's hand who is still in the pot?
An example would be if there were three people in a pot and player A and player C are raising and reraising each round until they are capped. When player A shows his winning hand player B can see player C's hand as well. This way if player C is in raising the entire hand with 2,7o it is obvious he is in collusion with player A. I saw two guys get kicked out of a casino and told not to come back for doing this.

They can request, though generally it is seen as an accusation of cheating and if it turns out to be a justified amount of betting then the "accuser" won't be too popular at the table.

It's more a gentlemans agreement, you can request but in general if someone mucks a hand it's not questioned and the game moves on.

I prefer it that way anyway, people can get information knowing what you will play with.

My Definition of Success
“Once upon a time， there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the
king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each ne
wow power leveling,impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young
prince..." Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the
same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly. maple story mess
,And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily every after." Why aren't we tired of
something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of
repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see
a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as
represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youthgoes
through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage. The story not only caters to everyone's inward
yearning for success,(maple story mesos,) but also emphasizes the
inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is
treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person
even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term "success", to be
sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of
both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
maple story mesos,If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent
away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring
would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing
Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger,(WOW Power
leveling,) actually a toe, to score,then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have
disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its
value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes. The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person.(WOW Power leveling,) In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science. I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. WOW Power leveling,Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final successin my life, because I have truly gained by participating. Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success.WOW Power leveling, You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too
