When a fish is at your table, handing out money, and you like the fact that he is handing you money, you may consider letting him bend the rules a bit on showing his bluffs.

This is basically right. It's just idiotic to show up somebody who's giving away chips.

For those of you saying you "paid to see his cards", you should already know his cards. When the board is A,K,x,y,K, your opponent bets, you call, and he says "You got it", you don't need to see J6o, 52s or whatever hand he actually had. You've already got the information you need- your oppopnent bluffs on the river with no hand. Whether it's J6o or 52s is irrelevent. Knowing the specific cards doesn't give you any more relevent information.

Take the money. Let your opponent save face. Watch him repeat the same mistake. Take the money again.

Absolutely correct. These issues greatly outweigh the added info you'd get from knowing if the opponent is making that particular play with 22 or J6o or 76s or whatever.
