Re: weird situation. is there any ethics consideration here?
I would stack him off and not feel bad about it. It would be one thing if you induced him to show you his hand in some way, but not only did he raise your blind, but he showed you without asking. There are plenty of times(especially deep stacked) where you have the second or third nuts and wouldn't want to put all your money in. Should I just turn my hand up under the guise of "being a nice guy" so that the other person doesn't shove on me? Why should I have to figure out the other guys intentions, or give him quid pro quo. I am better than he is, so he shouldn't be relieving me of my right to outplay him(and make money) after the flop. Yes, it sucks that he showed you, and he is going to feel cheated when you stack him, but poker isn't played with the cards face up, so if you turn them up, its to your disadvantage. Don't expect me to take pity on you.
