Default Show one, show all?

So, I was donking up the local 3-6 game the other night, in one of two casinos I play in. Three of the dealers who deal in the other casino I play in were playing in the game, and the following happened.

I open-raised with A-Q, and got called by a guy in the cutoff. The player in the button was one of the dealers in the other casino I play in, who knows me pretty well. Flop was 7-9-x, I bet, cutoff raises, I call. Turn was a six, I check, cutoff bets, I fold. Cutoff shows his cards to the button, and noone else.

I ask the button what he showed, and he said he showed 8-10 for the straight, at which point the caller got pretty pissed, and the button apologized.

Was I out of line to ask here? And should I have just asked the dealer to invoke the show one, show all rule?

Ask the cutoff guy first, then if he refuses ask the dealer.

My approach would be the following:

1) Let it go and don't ask anyone
If I am in a mood where that isn't possible then I would proceeed to ...
2) Ask your opponent
3) Ask the dealer show one show all

I'd never put someone I "know" in a spot like you did to your dealer/friend from the other casino. That has nothing to do with poker, it's just inconsiderate.

Yeah, rethinking this, you're totally right. I only really asked at the time because a) I had raised with A-Q three times, and been beat by total crap every time in that session, and b) I was a little pissed he showed one guy, and not me.

In the future, I'll remember that 90% of the time people show their hands to one person in this position, and that one person doesn't bust out laughing (i.e., he showed a total bluff) that this means they had the joint.
