It's not an angleshoot but it's not hard to understand why this would upset somebody. That's one of the reasons I consistently keep my mouth shut when in this sort of situation.

Entierly fine, I wouldn't even call it unethical or a dick move. That is the essence of poker, you just owned him. It seems like poker has almost become too friendly of a game where this is considered by some to be angleshooting. When your money is on the felt you are adversaries with everyone else at the table. The word angleshooting refers to catching a glimse of someone else's cards, thus taking away the key element of poker, incomplete information. What you did was beyond fine. nh

At most casinos I've played table talk and even showing one or two of your hole cards is allowed ONLY if it's headsup. There were only two of you in the pot at the time so no problem IMHO.

Its kind of a dick move.. but not an angle shoot or unethical thing to say at all. It was pure table talk as you talked him out of the call. At least you showed him [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
