It's cheating. It's just like getting away with holding a card off. You intentionally broke the rules to cheat someone else out of their money.

No Josh it isn't cheating. That person sat down at a table and gambled his money without knowing the ins and outs. The object of hold'em is to make the best 5 card hand that you can out of your hole cards plus the community cards on the board. In this case, the guy could only make pair queens out of what was right in front of him. I can see how some people might feel here, because I am an honest guy in my life and work...but this is a poker table, and when I play poker I play to bust people up. What just happened here is Poker's own form of "Natural Selection". I would have stayed at that table with those folks until the vitreous humour inside my eyeballs ruptured.
