No it is not by the rules. See rule 143 in "2012 World Series of Poker® Official Live Action Rules" (linked to this answer).
143. Show one, show all. Players are entitled to receive equal access to information about the contents of another player's hand. After a deal, if
cards are shown to another player, every player at the table has a right to see those cards. During a deal, cards that were shown to an active
player who might have a further wagering decision on that betting round must immediately be shown to all the other players. If the player who Save
saw the cards is not involved in the deal, or cannot use the information in wagering, the information should be withheld until the betting is over,
so it does not affect the normal outcome of the deal. Cards shown to a person who has no more wagering decisions on that betting round, but
might use the information on a later betting round, should be shown to the other players at the conclusion of that betting round. If a player
shows only some of his hole cards, he may be required to show all hole cards upon request.

In poker, a pair is when a player has two cards of the same rank in their hand. Having a pair can increase a player's chances of winning the hand, as it is a stronger hand than just having high cards or no pairs. Players with pairs may choose to bet more aggressively or stay in the game longer, depending on the strength of their pair and the other cards on the table.

Open limping in poker refers to when a player enters the pot by just calling the big blind instead of raising or folding. This strategy can impact a player's overall strategy at the table by potentially making their hand less predictable and allowing them to see more flops at a lower cost. However, open limping can also make it harder for a player to build a strong hand and can leave them vulnerable to aggressive opponents who may take advantage of their passive play.
Obviously, If he can say there's going to be positive change with a straight face, It just goes to show how good of a poker face he has
In this scenario the dealer has a straight and the player has an Ace-high. A straight is always better than a hand with just an Ace-high. If you are playing in a casino or card room the dealer does not play, the dealer just deals the cards.

In Texas Hold-em, a straddle is somewhat like a blind. However, any player can straddle. The player put his straddle into the pot before the cards are dealt, just as with the blinds. In other words, the player is blindly putting money into the pot. The other players, if they want to play their hand, will have to call the amount of the straddle, and the player who straddles will get another action before the turn is dealt. Most of the rules that apply to a blind apply to a straddle, except for the fact that it is not required.
