"hypothetical" hand history dilemma

suppose you just played a MTT at an online cardroom and you decide to request all of your hand histories for that tourney. you get them and start reading over them and realize that the hand histories always reveal the uncalled bettor's hand. so for example i can scroll to that hand at the final table where i had 88 on J43 flop facing an all-in and see that the guy actually had AK and I could have called him.

obviously i'm not entitled to this information, but it could prove quite useful when i see these same players at the table again.

should i keep my mouth shut and keep playing at the site and keep requesting these juicy hand histories. or should i report this to the site and explain to them why this is a big mistake on their part?

are you guys already aware of a site that does this in their hand histories?

many sites' hand histories reveal the hand of a player who makes it to the showdown and loses. i've never heard of a site that revealed the hand of a player who didn't go to the showdown.

i don't think you have any ethical obligation to inform the site - i'm sure they know what's in their hand histories and i'm sure the other players have been using it to check up on your hands.

so spill... what site is it?

i think you will all be surprised to know that the site was UB. i e-mailed them and explained the mistake. they said they would fix it.
