Is showing a bluff poor etiquette or good for game?

I’m with you werebeer. I like being shown a bluff, and I don’t think it’s always a needle. One example I particularly recall: I was playing in a deep stack turbo tourney with 300 bb starting stacks, live $60 buy in. Field usually pretty passive. First hand I get KK on the button. MP opens to 3 bb, I 3 bet to 10. All fold except MP who flats. Ace high flop. MP checks, I bet 15bb, MP shoves. I’m thinking there’s no way he’s taking that line without an ace, so I fold, flipping up my kings. He shows me QQ. Nothing I could do but congratulate him on a tremendous bluff.
