On the basis that you might be at the table to maximize $-EV rather maximize being-right-EV. Which do you prefer?

At least three players saw his cards. Why isn't this public information at that point? What rule would you cite?
You remind me of myself back in 2004 when I started playing poker.
My peeve was people flashing cards to their neighbor after the neighbor had folded. I'd read some Bob Ciaffone article in
Card Player about show one show all, and it was pissing me off that I had to make a scene at the table to get information that I was entitled to. Fortunately someone on here, I think it may have been bav, mentioned that of the hundreds of winning players he knew, he'd never seen anyone ask to see cards flashed to an out-of-the-hand neighbor.
The implication: I could make a point of asking to see, and I could mark myself as someone who's taking poker very seriously so that recreational opponents play better or just leave and good games turn bad. I still need to apply that lesson to 10000000 other ways but at least I learned not to invoke SOSA there. There will be many times that you can win the battle if you want, but you'll cost yourself the war.

It could have been 1-3 PLO.
