Ok, so I peeked...

OK, suppose a guy has a tell where his legs shake whenever he has a big hand. You sit next to him, so you can see the legs shaking under the table, but guys on the other side of the table can't see the shake, so they have no opportunity to take advantage of this information. Is using this tell unethical?
I don't think so, and I don't think peeking at a guy's cards who doesn't protect them is unethical either. If the information is available, a competent cardplayer is going to take steps to exploit it. Whether it is available to everyone is irrelevant, IMHO.

Maybe it's just me.

you are very confused.

players are not supposed to see other players' hole cards. it is actually AGAINST THE RULES. spotting tells and taking advantage of weak players in other ways is NOT AGAINST THE RULES.
