zero moral dillema at all. Go all-in and take his money. Showing his cards doesnt get him off the hook here.

i think you guys are missing a very important point:

ITS 3 HANDED!!!

either play for real or leave the game.

exactly. i mean if i was the other guy and guys were showing eachother the nuts and 2nd nuts and [censored] and letting eachother pull back huge bets without seeing river cards i'd be pretty pissed and very likely to leave the game(esp if i was a fish).

This is real easy. The only question, ethically or otherwise, is the best way to get his stack in the pot. Now, I;m not 100% sure how that is, but I'm thinking flat call, "checking to see if you have odds". He shouldn't be off the hook just because he tried to be "a nice guy". This is poker, not f'n tiddly winks. Soft play is a lack of respect, not only for your opponents, but for the game.

You are playing three handed. Why are you even in the game if you are considering showing the other player your hand? Besides, if the other guy has any clue whatsoever what is going on, he'd see you two softplaying each other and showing your hands, so he would probably pick up and find a game with less collusion going on.
Anyway, the "polite" thing to do is to shove (without showing your hand). If you are considering showing the guy your hand, you should prob pick up after you drag the pot, as the game prob isn't +EV for you and you'd prob feel more comfortable hanging out with your new friend.
