What is the "worst" hand you've had a showdown and won with?

Lesson learned. Next time, just say, "you can't possible be good" and turn those bitches up with pride!!!!!

I see a lot of people here just flip up their high card.
I don't really like it cause they can ask to see the other card since they called you, but most of the time people will let you get away with it if they can beat you.

Most places require both cards to be turned face up, on the table, in order to contest for a pot.

If a guy turns up one card and the other guy mucks, that's different. But if I call a guy and he shows one card - even if it beats me - I'm gonna ask him to turn up the other too.

Exactly

I will make people show me both before I muck if I call them just because I want to know what they are playing with (for info). I always show both when they call me (unless they show before me and have me beat, I muck) I never show one card, I may say "J high" show the J and then show the other card. I figure if they call me they deserve to see my cards.

Seriously... never throw your hand away at showdown unless you are CERTAIN it's not good. Even if you only win 1 extra pot out of 5000 because of this - because the other guy had a WORSE draw, or because you misread your hand and made a goofy straight, etc - that is an awfully expensive mistake to make.

Thats the thing I didnt throw my hand away, I had it in my hand!

I'll be pickier on my choice of words next time tho...

Verbal declarations are binding. If you said, "I raise," you have to raise - even if you haven't put chips in the middle. If you say, "I fold," or "I am mucking," you have to fold.
