Well then they're just giving away an advantage, so why should it be against the rules? I really don't see why it'd be either against the rules or bad etiquette. Poker is 90% about trying to psyche the other players out, it seems a perfectly fair tactic to me.

Then if the person who called has lost they can muck their cards unless anyone at the table says they want to see them and then they HAVE to show them.
That's interesting to know, though.
