have a quick question...
it was down to myself and two other players...i (let's say, Player C) was last to act and was the leader in chips...player B was on the short stack and went all-in...both player A and myself (player C) called his all-in bet...
my question is....do i have to show my cards?...they were saying i have to because everybody was all-in...but after seeing that i lost, i told Player B that he won and put my cards back into the deck...but, he was getting mad at me for not showing him my cards...
we're both aware that you dont' have to show your cards if you don't want to, but he said that when someone is all-in, you HAVE to...
so, who's right?

Your friend is right if player A and B are all-in. It looks from your description that the short stack went all-in , you called it and then Player C (large stack) raised to put you all-in also. If this is the case then you all show your cards before the community cards are revealed.
If you called the short stack bet and then player C (large stack) only C (large stack) only calls also then you do not show your cards as the community cards are revealed. This is because player B and C still have chips at this point and a side betting situation will occur if either bet as the 5 community cards come out.
If you were not all-in after the river card then you do not have to show.
