Looking at other\'s card. It\'s ok?
 

2 days ago I was playing cash games in a private club with 2 nl tables with semi-pro dealer. In one hand, I raised pre-flop and bet the flop and 4th street with TPTK against 2 opponents, 2 calling station at my right. Just before the dealer dealt the river, one of them took a peak again at his cards and I could see that he has hit trips.

So anyway they both check to me and obviously I didnt value bet. So I took advantage of him lifting his cards too high for the rest of the night. Can the dealer warn me about this if they notice. I would also like to know at the same time for the dealers at the B&M casino. Is this ok to take advantage or is this cheating and im a POS?

It's the player's responsibility to protect his hand. If you don't have to change your position to see his cards, there's nothing wrong with using the information he's giving away. In a smililar thread, most people said they'd give a guy one warning.

I'd let him know what is he is doing once.

Give guy one warning, then proceed as you wish.
Personally, I still try to avoid looking where I may see their cards. That information isn't available to everyone, so it isn't really fair to the rest of the table.

I must be a POS. If an old donk is sitting next to me, and i see his cards.....I aint telling him until he leaves the table.

Telling him is fine. Just do it next time you see him doing it. Telling him during the hand will only anger him more.

When I get in situation like this:

I wait until hand is over..."hey, just wanted to let you know that you sometimes flash me your cards when you peek."

That'll be the first and last time I mention it. Either he fixes it or I get info from then on.

I tend to look away if they are doing that sort of thing. It is their responsibility to protect.

I guess I'm just a jerk because I don't tell them and use it to my advantage. If they're willing to take my money I use all of the information I can gather. Now, I may not raise in a situation to extract maximum value (the old shear a sheep numerous times and skin it once belief), but otherwise everything is fair game.
