As of today, the Chance tab allows any player to "cheat" by displaying percentages that include dealt cards.

For instance (recent example I experienced) if I'm dealt AK and the flop shows A44, I can check the "4 of a kind" line to see if someone has a pocket 4, which will be hinted by a 0% chance.

This is only a fringe and blatant example, I can also see if my outs are "out there" on many other combinations.

To prevent this, chance percentages should display "nominal" values calculated only from a player's hand, not taking other hands into account.

It's not peeking in other's cards. It's showing your chances of getting 4 of a kind with running aces or running 4's, which should be 2*2/47*1/46.

It is calculated in your client from what cards the client sees.
