A bluff remains a bluff if you don't show it. Once you show it, you've given away information that can be used against you...and why help someone out at the table?
And unless you see the cards, whatever someone says about their mucked hand should be treated as a lie.
It is still a bluff, even if you show your cards - showing or not showing cards simply doesn't change the fact that you bluffed.
Also, it doesn't say that you should show every time you bluffed - you can show it as much as you want which can later help you to build an image of you as a player on the table. It is not necessary helping out someone at the table, it can be used as traping them.
show or not show this is your right. I think that showing your bluff for psychological impact on your opponent is not ethical.I had a post about slowrolling, but someone mentioned that this is highly unethical as well as showing the bluff.... Now, I like showing the bluff because it opens up the game and usually people start calling me with lesser hands.... kinda like balancing my range...
But is it unethical to show a bluff?
