Can a player ask to see the winning hand if they folded?

[ProGambler]

In most standard poker games, once a player has folded their hand, they no longer have any rights to the pot or any involvement in the hand. As a result, players who have folded are generally not allowed to ask to see the winning hand at the end of a hand.

The reason for this rule is to protect the integrity of the game and to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage by folding and then requesting to see the winning hand. Allowing players who have folded to see the winning hand could potentially influence the game and impact the strategy of the active players.

However, there are some variations of poker where players do have the option to request to see the winning hand even if they have folded. This is more commonly seen in home games or private games where the players have agreed upon this rule beforehand.

In these cases, players may be allowed to ask to see the winning hand out of curiosity or to gain information about their opponents' playing styles. It is important to clarify the rules before the start of the game to avoid any confusion or disputes.

It is worth noting that even in games where folded players are allowed to see the winning hand, they still have no claim to the pot. They are simply given the opportunity to satisfy their curiosity or gather information.

Ultimately, the decision on whether or not a player can ask to see the winning hand after folding is determined by the specific rules of the game being played. In most standard poker games, however, this is not allowed to maintain fairness and the integrity of the game.

In casinos, it is generally not allowed for players to ask to see the winning hand if they folded. This is because casinos want to protect the privacy of the players and to ensure that all games are fair. If a player does ask to see the winning hand, the dealer will typically decline to show the hand

There are some variations and house rules in friendly or home games that might allow a player to request to see the winning hand. It ultimately depends on the rules established by the house or the specific poker game you're playing.

I think I can state that the standard rules of poker do not allow a player to see a hand that they have already folded unless they are in a showdown at the end of the hand. This is to prevent any unfair advantage or collusion between players. Casinos have to adhere to strict gaming regulations,

Here are the rules for seeing a winning hand ¹:
- Folding: If you fold, you cannot see the winning hand.
- Mucking: If a player mucks their hand, the other player can ask to see it, but only if they are part of the showdown.
- Showdown: If there is a showdown, all cards are recorded, and the hand can be reviewed in its entirety.

I still feel It's important for players to understand these rules to know when they have the right to see an opponent's hand and ensure a fair game. Mucking is a common practice in poker, but it's important to note that if a player mucks their hand and it's not called for, they forfeit their right to claim any pot that's been put together
