Quoted from Moose:
A player miscalling a hand with the intent to cause another player to act on their hand risks forfeiture of the pot and/or expulsion from the Poker Room.

Showing a card kinda does this.

I didn't mis-called any hand; he still has to decide whether he is going to call or not. I never told him my hand and this actually provides him with more information. Now if he folded after the push and I showed a complete bluff, that wouldn't be any different if he inferred that I had a better hand than him. The only reason I showed the card was because I could see him getting ready to fold and I had nothing to lose with the nuts. As you can see, it worked out to my benefit.

the move was great, I just think its angling.

Personally, I love angling and taking it out of poker for me is taking a piece of the game out. Our home game allways has angling, and its great fun. Obviously everyone thinks differently.

I don't see the difference in showing a card, pretending to push your chips, giving speeches, mis-calling your hand, saying shit like "ill show you if you fold" it's all trying to get into the villian's head and get him to do what you want him to do.

THe rules are obviously different here the west coast. You're not allowed to intentionally show your cards before showdown or its mucked. It's considered angling here
Maybe you guys are just referring angling to fishing for a read. I dont know.

The deliberately miscalling rule is so that you don't say on the river "I have a flush" to get the other guy to muck and then show a bluff. He didn't do anything other than show a card.

This is it exactly.... As Moose says, that's angling, however two years ago most Casinos allowed you to show a card while playing cash (not tournaments) as long it was down to heads up. Recently "some" casinos have started to make it a rule that you can never show a card... I have no real preference either way on that one...
