Depends , most of the time no but if I want to tilt a bad player in order to exploit him in the future then yes.
It is more common for me to show a big fold than a succeeded bluff. You have to balance ranges and moves by bluffing so it is part of the game to do it now and then. Showing bluffs too often is kinda fishy move.
Hi Troderick i play like i would at a live game & muck next to everything! Ill turn over 1 card ocassionally when playing against friends . Dont get me wrong at certain online tables it could confuse a fish esp if ur winning every other hand. Cheers *muck
A friend of mine told me 10 years ago after a long live session I show way to many hands. I thought about and have auto mucked probably 99 out of every 100 hands since.
Just curious. I always muck every hand win or lose...bluff or not. Some show a 7-3 off after a good bluff. I think its pretty low class but I guess they have their reasons. What are your thoughts?
I like to show my hand, with this strategy I try to confuse my opponent, I make equal plays with different cards. And I wonder why you find this type of player a low class?
If you are bluffing in the current hand, you only set a task to pick up the current pot, it does not matter whether you show your hand to the opponent or not. If your current hand is part of the plan to draw a series of hands against an opponent - then showing your bluff makes sense, while in some cases deliberately bluffing in advance without a chance of success, losing a small part of your chips.
I never show my cards when I play online poker.Because I want my bluff to be paid in the future too.
In home poker games, on the contrary, I'm interested in who plays with which cards and I like to show my cards, so that they can show me.
Same point about using chat, if you know how to use it in your advantage after, you can show some bluffs. But I think nobody should show some bluff to their left opponent
It is a question of each one to show them or not, but if I am playing in Home games against friends, if I show them, in case of a Mtts or Cash I never show my cards, because it is to give information to the rest of the players.
