It says below that the person who bet last shows their hand... is that the same as calling?
---------------------
Showdown - Anyone who has not folded after the last round of betting will now have the option of showing their hand and possibly winning the pot. The person who bet last is the first to show their hand, and then it proceeds clockwise from there, with each remaining player either choosing to show their hand, or muck it. Often times a player will muck their hand if they aren't going to win the pot, and don't want their opponents to see what they played.

The first person to show their cards is the last person who made an action - either made a bet or raised.



If I bet and you called me, I would show first.



If I bet and you raised me and I called you, you would show first.



Who ever shows next can either show their cards indicating they have probably got a better hand or they can muck them indicating a losing hand.

When a bet is called, the bettor is supposed to show his hand first. However in cardrooms there is no enforceable rule as to the order of hands turned over. Any player that is involved in the hand can ask for all hands that have been called to be turned over. If a player decides to much the hand face down after being called, the dealer will first kill the hand (by making sure that it touches another card in the discard pile) and then turn the hand over if requested by a player that was active in the hand at the time the hand ended.

No its the person who bet lasting meaning that if its heads up and one person bets and the other calls then the person who bet technically should flip over there cards first but usually both players flip there cards at about the same time.
