Default Re: Peeking at neighbors holecards?

i generally out of habit look at everyone i can when they pick up their cards just to try to get a read. if i happen to see the cards, i will generally tell them i saw them.

i regularly play in a pot limit game in my hometown, and i once saw another regular's pocket 6's on the button. i was SB. the flop gave me a middle pair of tens, which i checked. it got to him, and he bet $20 with his unimproved 66, so i could have taken the pot. instead, i just folded, as did everyone else, then told him after the hand that i had seen his cards and had him by the balls. he thanked me, and said that was the most honest thing he'd ever seen in a poker game, and threw me two $5 chips after i stood up from the table.

cheers!
