Here's one problem with being able to see your opponent's hole cards. Imagine this scenario:

You're on camera at the WSOP main event. First hand and you're even with your opponents. You pick up T-T in mid position and raise.
Sammy Farha is in late position calls and the two of you are heads up seeing a flop of A-A-T. He has A-T.

Now, Stevie Wonder and Helen Keller can both see the mauling that's to occur a mile and a half away. There's not a player in the world that isn't, somehow some way, getting all his chips in at some point in this hand.

But you have the gift to see hole cards. You know you're drawing dead.
How do you not get all in here? Are you folding? The camera just picked up that you have a full house and you're folding?

Describe how you maneuver the betting to lose the least amount WITHOUT raising suspicions when you flop a monster that's drawing dead?

You check call all the way, and hope that Sammy tries to extract money from you with his monster so he never goes all in, but bets more modestly. Likely he may even try to trap with a few checks of his own.

If he goes all in, call, double him up, and then grin as he's now increased is stack to approximately 1/10 the size of yours.

Alternative. Fold, and immediately grab your head in shock and dismay anc claim to have misread either the board or your hand. Go on and on to Sammy about how you made such a terrible mistake and he was dead in the water but you threw a way a boat.
