Newbie player asks if he has to show his hand at showdown in a confusing way
opinions on this scenario.
heads up on flop
8d9dTc bet by BB call by utg
turn is Jc , pot sized bet by BB , UTG calls .
river is As so the board reads
8d, 9d, Tc,Jc, As
BB bets pot again , utg tanks and calls .
BB shows kd6d for king high.
and says good call , UTG ask the dealer "Do I have to show "? dealer says "no you don't" , UTG mucks and dealer gives pot to king high .
UTG plays mostly house and underground games and thought he won because K high is never good there with that action , dealer says nothing.
UTG goes on tilt very next hand and gets stacked with q2 off .
should the dealer have said anything different? i understand dealer cant influence action but just sucks for someone not used to or not knowing about casino rules.
thoughts?
