I was checking out Empire Poker and watching some of the high dollar games and I notice when a hand goes far enough that there is a showdown more times than not all that was shown was the winning hand.

Is that just that way to us outside observers or is that way when you are playing.

I'm always used to a showdown being a showdown. I think I only counted about 3 hands that went to the end without everyone else folding and both wining and losing hands were shown.

I'm used to in our home games even if the loser tries to muck his hand real fast after winner shows if anyone mentions it the cards are flipped up (way to tell if he was bluffing, bad beat etc). The cards were "paid for" after all.
