I somewhat agree with the sentiment (although ignorant inexperienced players are GOOD for the game and I don't want to see one lose the pot like this). The cutesy only-show-one-card-because-revealing-my-kicker-is-an-information-leak stuff drives me up a wall.
But FWIW the Horseshoe Tunica will not let the dealer touch a half-tabled hand. Standard practice is apparently for the dealer to say, "I can't turn over your hand," to clue the player in that he needs to show the rest of it. Not sure how widespread that is.
Given the identity of the pot winner, this stinks to high heaven. The poster suggesting a report to the NGC is not being a prick at all; such a report would be very much in order under the circumstances.
