read this very carefully. I will type extra slow so you can understand it. The villain showed his cards to someone NOT in the hand. If you wish to invoke Sosa, go for it, but the cards aren't revealed until the hand ends. OP should (and
did) notify the remaining player in the hand that he'd seen the villain's cards. However, that does not mean that the villain's hand should be exposed to the other players. The OP could have been mistaken about the cards he saw -- or -- he could lie and in your world, the villain would have to expose his hand.

1st off even if you did see the guys hand it was dumb to announce it. You are giving away a huge edge. Especially if he does not protect his hand well and you can see it also on later hands.

Also announcing it to the whole table ruins it for the villain as well.

I love playing against people who don't protect their hand because it makes marginal decisions way easier to know, say that the 2 of hearts is dead if I am considering playing Ah3h.

So I gave up an edge on a single hand. I don't angle shoot. Personally, I think if I ever developed a reputation as a cheat, it would hurt me far more in the long run, then any porential short term gain.

I hate it when people say "re-raise" when they mean "raise." Let's keep the standards higher at 2+2!

Sigh ... remember people, this is the premier poker site ... where a bet is still a bet, and a raise is still a raise!

In fairness, psujohn nailed the solution. But let's protect our poker terminology!
