Default Re: Is This Cheating?

Whether or not you believe you have an obligation to the player wearing glasses to inform him of his mistake, you do have an obligation to the rest of the table to inform them that you saw the cards.

From Robert's Rules of Poker (Section 3 / "Showdown"):[ QUOTE ]
6. Show one, show all. Players are entitled to receive equal access to information about the contents of another player’s hand. After a deal, if cards are shown to another player, every player at the table has a right to see those cards. During a deal, cards that were shown to an active player who might have a further wagering decision on that betting round must immediately be shown to all the other players. If the player who saw the cards is not involved in the deal, or cannot use the information in wagering, the information should be withheld until the betting is over, so it does not affect the normal outcome of the deal. Cards shown to a person who has no more wagering decisions on that betting round, but might use the information on a later betting round, should be shown to the other players at the conclusion of that betting round. If only a portion of the hand has been shown, there is no requirement to show any of the unseen cards. The shown cards are treated as given in the preceding part of this rule.

Seems pretty clear.
