I guess one can´t learn too much out of this hand since the circumstances don´t come up too often, but I´m still curious how to play that hand.

NLHE, Blinds/Antes 200/400/50 and stacks are as follows:

Villain 1: 8k
Villain 2: 9k
Hero: 7k

Now this was a 9handed table, but the other players weren´t important in that hand. V1 calls UTG+1. He playes somewhat loose and aggressively, but not extremly. Everybody else mucks, and V2 in the SB calls. The strange thing is that V2 took his first look at his cards when button mucked and he flipped his cards too high, so that Hero, who was watching the action from V2, could see them. (I´m pretty sure that nobody else noticed that Hero saw the hand, and Hero didn´t announce this fact either). He showed 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero checked in the BB with 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Flop comes Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Now V2 bets out his middle pair for 800.

a) What´s the proper action here for hero and why? (V1 shows no sign of wanting to call/raise/fold)

b) Should Hero announce the fact that he saw the hand of V2?

Heros action will be followed in a seperate post.

Thanks
