I kind of like the option to muck but it feels like unnecessarily waiting so I dunno what is best. Maybe if you just reveal the winning hand and then losing hands can show after if they want?

I mean, it's not like I've ever played poker at the casino or anything but when I played with friends we all just showed @ the end. I mean I guess I can sorta see the strategy of not showing cards so some players won't know what has/hasn't been played yet but it seems mostly silly to me.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It's more about information about yourself and how you play certain hands. There's no reason to give that info away if you don't have to.

I mean like, it's better to show a bluff than not. And it's generally better to be erratic anyway, if you care if people read how you are playing a hand then what happens when you do win the hand?
Unless you are planning on playing for a short while people will get the info anyway.
Yeah, online every game is different. One app called pokerist actually doesn't allow you to show losing hands. You only see the winner.
Real games, you can muck any time unless you are all in and the only time you can be forced to show is when both players are waiting for the other to show then I think whoever forced the action shows first. Even then, the second player can muck.
I mean, it's two's game so I can live with whatever he decides, but I really think just showing the winner and leaving the rest up to the players is the way to go and I really don't like the idea of losing hands having to show. Like if I bluff and you call me in a real game, I'm saying "good call" and throwing my cards face down the second I see you have anything at all.

If you want to have a vote options are:
A) Dealer reveals all showdown cards.
B) Dealer reveals winning showdown cards.
C) Revealing cards is up to the players.

This isn't really on topic but why would you ever want to hide a bluff.
Either you bluff too much. Or you're just flat out harming your opportunities to string people along.
I personally would like two to always reveal my hands if I am in a hand to the end.

The reputation of being the guy who never bluffs lets me get away with it more often.
I vote B

I remember being a cruise for a week. There was a donkey there every day. He only folded on the river once. And it was the only time I bluffed in to him the entire time.
