Before folding the cards it is wise to see it rather than just folding it especially when other players are not comfortable with it. Although it is not a rule to show it but knowing what is in the card is good to be sure it is genuine and not being cheated like you said. Some player maybe dubious to join the cards together even when it is not the required card.

You are right, if majority of the players says he should show his card, he will do so to clear all possible doubt. One the other hand you should also know that it is the choice of that player to show his card or not because it is not compulsory and the rules don't allow such.

This is why it is good to play with reputable people that wouldn't like to cheat and when you fold, you know that he has won the game rather than thinking that he is cheating.

You are at the poker table and then one guy on the other side raises the plot to $20 and then another $50. Knowing your pair may not win if he has a higher pair, you decide to fold.

If I were on the table, I would like to know what his cards are so that I can know sometime in the future whether he is bluffing or not but he just mixes his cards with the rest of the pile without me knowing what they are. I'd feel like I am cheated.

Well you can ask him to show his cards. But the thing is the players are not going to show it by default, unless he wants to proved a point or just showing his bluff to make you feel that you made the wrong decision. And I guess that's one reason why poker are exciting and why there are players or gamblers who go professional. There is this element that you wanted to out hustle the other player. However, it's really up to you, for me I'm fine with the playing not showing his cards. I already made the decision to fold as I think that he has a greater hand than mind.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

If everybody folds then he doesn't have to show his cards, but it works both ways. When you fold, you also don't have to show what you had. This is a fair rule when the stakes are high. Often people bluff with nothing in hand and get everybody scared. If the table knew that they are this bold, they'd bet against him more often and wouldn't get bullied by him anymore. At the same time you can try to bluff half way and then finally get scared and fold. You wouldn't want the whole table to know that, would you?

So, the answer is yes, I'd like to know his cards, but I wouldn't want the rest of the players to know my cards Cheesy

Since we can't make it like that it's fine as it is.
When I play with friends we always show what we had, but that's a different situation.
