OK i know this is not a computer game, but it is a game.

My Q is : In the showdown (after the turn and last bet) must everyone show thier hand?

If player one shows his/her hand and player two relises that one wins must player two show his/her hand?

The thing is, is it a penelty of staying in till the end or is it just sportmanship?
 
No.

The player that is called must show his hand. The others then show in order. They may muck thier cards at any time.

Showdown:
A showdown occurs when a player is called after the River, and could involve anywhere from two players to the entire table, depending on how many stayed in to this point. All players still in the hand show their cards, starting with the last person to bet. At any point after this player showed his cards other players in the showdown may muck their hand, essentially conceding the pot; just think of mucking as folding. They are admitting they have been beat without having to show their cards. This strategy (mucking) helps keep the other players from learning your playing style, such as if you bet heavy on two pairs or like to chase a flush.

So the term is muck..
May the winner see them? or is it totalling up to the mucker/muckee.
 
I play about 500 hands of NL Hold'em on Pokerstars and FullTiltPoker. I know people that make a ton of money playing online.
 
i havent played in a while. I have decided not to play at all until I have paid off my credit card. Once thats done, I intend hitting the tables again... I only play tournaments, never touch cash games... I have really ever played cash and will not even pretend to know how the finer points of a cash game
