There are 100 other ways to try to influence/psyche out/read another player, and none of them are considered "bad etiquette". If the other guy doesn't want to give away a reaction to seeing your cards, nobody's forcing him to look at them.

People say what they've got all the time, truthfully or otherwise. I just don't see how actually showing your cards is different to that. The way I was brought up, telling the truth is more polite than lying...
You look at my post but you don't read it...or maybe you read it but chose to ignore it, so i am not going to try and explain it to you again i guess we will have to agree to disagree.

Its is fair because on the next start the blinds rotate so that means everyone gets to post SB BB...
