It amounts to taunting. I thought it was standard that if you showed one, the other player could ask the dealer to expose both. It is just good etiquette to do neither (ask to see the other card nor show only one card).

Usually.

The only time I do it is when I'm showing the guy the one card that makes my hand (i.e. the ace of trump when 4-flush showing).

But, say I called a raise in the BB w/ a marginal holding because the raiser is a lousy player (hence me showing my hand, to make him happy). I may call a raise w/ like A7o or something. I don't want to show that my kicker is an offsuit 7. Blah blah blah....

The issue here is not that the player has the right to see the hand, but that the player flipped up the hand on his own when the correct thing to do would be to ask the dealer to do so.

No. What Josh said is correct.

This is a bastardization of the "show one show all" rule.

A few weeks ago I would have said you're right. Recently some clubs (Hollywood Park for sure after speaking with shift manager Steve Iino) have made this a "show one card, show both cards" rule. Per Steve the reason is that showing one card was usually done as a sort of taunt and they wanted to cut down on this.

Now if they can only get people to stop exposing cards while a multi-way hand is in play [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
