5 card Poker: Card flashed, what are rules?

Question

We were playing poker (texas hold'em) the other day, and a player rudely mucked his cards and they flipped over.

Not everyone on the table saw the cards.

Do the rules/general etiquette of poker state that the cards must be shown to all players, or turned back over and only the people who have seen the cards get the advantage?

PLEASE INCLUDE A SOURCE

Thank you

Answer 1

No players can have an unfair advantage over any other players, so if anyone who was still in the hand had seen the cards that were flipped over, they must be re-fipped and exposed again so everyone who is still in the hand has the same information to work with.

Answer 2

The basic point is that no one should have an unfair advantage over another player.  If one person at the table saw the exposed card(s) everyone should have the chance to see the card(s).

For this and other poker etiquette/rules check out "Robert's Rule of Poker."  Just google it.  There are copies floating around all over the place.  The following link is one of many:
