As an honest player, I would remark to an aggressive player that he shows everyone cards, but if the opponent reacts aggressively to the remark and doesn't stop showing them, that's up to him. I would watch his cards and play against a player like that.

Regardless of the character of the opponent who shows his cards, I would never take advantage because karma could come back and who knows what position I would be in.

Looking at the exposed cards is considered 'angle shooting'. Not against anything in the rule book, but definitely unethical.
I let the player know I saw his cards.
If we are both in the hand, I declare that he accidentally exposed his cards and let the dealer make the ruling.
If I am out of the hand, I lean over and quietly let the player know he exposed his cards.
If he is not in the hand, I let him know that I saw his cards and he should protect them.
In the end, if the habit continues, I have to tell the dealer.

No. I'm all for fair play.

Everyone has a right. He can even open maps before the flop. He's right. And it's my right to watch or not.

In this situation, it's essential to act with integrity and follow the rules of the game. Looking at another player's cards deliberately when they are not protecting their hand is generally considered unethical and unfair play in poker. It's commonly referred to as "cheating," even if the player is careless in protecting their hand. Cheating in poker can result in penalties, being asked to leave the game, or even being banned from the poker room or casino.

So, if you want to maintain a good reputation as a poker player and ensure fair play, you should refrain from taking advantage of the other player's carelessness. It's important to focus on your own game and encourage the player to protect their cards properly. If they continue to be careless, it's best to notify the dealer or the casino staff, and they can take appropriate action to maintain the integrity of the game.

This is not a scam! If he lets me see his maps and doesn't see it as a problem, why should I see it as a problem?

Hello friends, I think if I were in that situation I would ask to talk to him alone and tell him that I can see his cards. Since I'm not a person who likes to cheat, I don't take advantage of those situations either. My reflection is that I want to play poker and beat you on equal terms.

Parte do sucesso no pôquer (assim como na vida em geral) é pensar em várias situações com antecedência e decidir como você reagiria. Quando chegar a hora, quer você mude de ideia ou não, você pelo menos já tinha um plano de ação em mente de antemão.

Então, o que você faria nesta situação?

O jovem e agressivo jogador a dinheiro ao seu lado não está fazendo um bom trabalho protegendo sua mão. A maneira como ele olha para as cartas torna muito fácil ver o que ele tem. Você silenciosamente o avisa para ter cuidado, mas ele apenas ri e diz para você se preocupar com seu próprio jogo. Você continuaria olhando as cartas dele quando tivesse uma chance? E você acha que isso é uma forma de trapaça, se você olhar ? Por que ou por que não?

Well, come on, this is a controversial situation, I would say that there is no right or wrong in this situation, and it can be interpreted in two ways, but at the end of this text I will choose one option, both are plausible to understand, and shows the player's intention to play a game without obtaining an advantage, the first question is about the responsibility that each player has to protect their own hands, where the player should know these rules, in this situation the player is being warned by the opponent , who would have no obligation to do this, but warned him by showing his ethics so as not to gain any advantage from this, in turn the opponent ignored his warning by giving up protecting his hand, exposing it to his field of vision, we will have two situations Here, I can give up not looking at my opponent's cards, thinking about the ethics of not gaining an advantage, or obtaining information from a hand that is completely exposed to me. It is part of poker that you look at your opponent and try to obtain as much information as possible based on their reactions. If my opponent has his cards exposed in my field of vision, I have no responsibility for him not knowing how to protect his cards, making me liable. of any punishment acquired in this case, due to the position of the table being next to that opponent, unfortunately or fortunately I am gaining an advantage over this opponent, and perhaps over others, but I am not being unethical in looking at my opponent, I cannot give up my right to look at his reactions, but his cards are exposed to me, making me see them, unfortunately or fortunately I will continue to have an advantage over him and the opponents at the table, my opponent has given up the right to protect his cards, I am not committing no infraction. Well, my final considerations are these, I will continue looking at my opponent.

I think that by telling him to be careful with his letters you gave him the opportunity to correct his mistake.
Therefore, if he continues doing it, I would look at the mistakes of others, we must take advantage of them in poker.

Well, in my opinion unless he hold the cards in a way that is unavoidable to look it would be cheating.

I think that if he doesn't cover his cards properly, no matter how much you see them, it's not a trap, I would try not to look at them, I like competitive play.

yes, we've said in the opening post of this thread, the question is after you have told him and he just chooses to ignore your advice, would you still look if you could see them? Or do you think this cheating?

I would not look but I don't play live poker so hard to say what would I actually do. You never know until you are put in this situation, you may not do the right thing always

Part of being successful in poker (just like life in general) is to think about various situations ahead of time and decide how you would react. When the time comes, whether you change your mind or not, you at least had a plan of action in mind beforehand.

So what would you do in this situation?

The young, aggressive cash player next to you isn't doing a great job of protecting his hand. The way he looks at his cards makes it really easy for you to see what he has. You quietly let him know to be careful, but he just laughs and tells you to worry about your own game. Would you keep looking at his cards when you get a chance? And do you think this is a form of cheating if you do look? Why or why not?

I don't consider it cheating if he's not cautious with his actions; ultimately, it's his responsibility I don't think it's cheating if he's not careful with his own hands.
It's his fault anyway.

Definitely not cheating. He is being irresponsible with his hand. Any information you are given is yours to use.
You wouldn't say to an enemy soldier. "Your trench is not secure, your visible, fix it or i might take you out." No, you take him out.
If you have to go out of your way to see his cards or use some sneaky tactic to see them, then i would class that as cheating.

I wouldn't look at anyone's cards, it's very easy to be good knowing what your opponent has in their hand

Is it possible to share your opponent's post because it has an advantage for you, do many people say it's cheating? Cheating is when you try to look at your opponent's card or use cheating devices, and this is a situation where the opponent has to be awakened by looking at the card, and knowing the opponent's card completely gives them more attention to their actions in order to avoid repeating it a second time later.

I think in such a situation you need to contact the club manager, because nothing good will come from this situation, I am for fair play

I woudn't look at his cards even if he is being rude and even if it's not ur fault is like cheating.
If u can see your oponents hand u can beat the best player in the world easily.
You would never know what the best players in the world hole cards are. That’s one of the reasons they are the best in the world.

Trying to put myself in this man's shoes..... If he doesn't care if his hands are visible..... he's either stupid or desperate that nothing matters anymore.... That's cruel to him. You have to have self-respect.
