There is not one single good reason to show one card unless you are trying to upset the other player.

Showing one card in not respectful.

You are just wrong.

I appreciate any information a player gives me -- whether he shows his bluff or the nuts, one card or two. I am never upset by another player showing a card -- even if its the card that makes you think he is bluffing.

Similarly, I will sometimes show my Ace (and only my Ace) when someone folds to me on an Ace high board. It makes the other player happy. Generally, happy players are looser than unhappy players.

This is in no way disrespectful, unethical, immoral or a breach of poker etiquette.

I don't think you are a tool -- but you are definately wrong.
