Of course asking to see the hand is a breach of ettiquette.

Despite what you say calling a bet is not payting to see a hand, its paying to have the chance to win the pot. If calling a bet was paying to see a hand, then only the player who paid should get to see it.

Uh, no. If my opponent bets and I CALL, then he sits there like a tard until I prompt him to show his hand he is the one violating poker etiquette.

it's the dealers job to ask for him to show his hand, not yours. I usually just flip my hand after a few seconds if they do not flip theirs as I just want to get the game rolling again. At this point you already know his hand is pretty weak or a pure bluff and I don't think that the extra "info" is usually all that helpful. The people that typically do this are horrible players anyhow.. so I want to speed the game up so I can get more money from them!
