Re: jaime gold = spew
I agree this is common behavior in live games and it's not angle shooting per se and it's also not unethical, it's just a low thing to do (if done on purpose, sometimes it's simply ignorance).
You are basically hoping to get information without giving information.
The showdown order rules exist for a reason.
Obviously if they want to let him slide on it that's their decision (because like others have said, you wanna keep him happy at the table donking off chips) but he's a douche for trying it.
When HU and you bet and your opponents calls you, you should do one of two things immediately
1. Table your hand
2. Muck your hand, thus hiding what it was, but giving the pot to your opponent no matter what he actually has and he is under no obligation to show.
If your opponents wanna let any other behavior slide, that's fine, but those are simply the showdown order rules.
