I don't generally show my cards but if one player fights hard for the pot and I have a good hand I will show my cards to let them know I m not bluffing

Think it's better to keep them secret

I do not like to show my cards be they good or bad, because the opponent will always be in doubt if you had or not had the person cases asking me what I had and I did not speak.

Always hide my game against my opponent. Whether or not bluff. Any information to your opponent is harmful.

always hide your cards. Don't let opponents know your strategy.

I don't think you should ever show in my opinion. Less information the better. Period!

Only If

I seldom do show my cards but only to my advantage. if I have been Bluffing for a while, showing occasional strong hands makes my bluffs more believable.

:hahaha:I also just show the hand if it is profitable to me:fight:

I can show my cards, only if somebody before me goes all-in, and i have 7-2, 8-3 or something like this, to opponent doesn't thought i scared.

Sometimes, of course. I like to show strongest cards, so I can easy bluff later

i show when have gud hand,don't show when bluffing

Interesting all to see the maps of rival regardless of result. But it yet and one of methods of manipulations. It is sometimes possible to open a strong hand - that rivals saw it and estimated, sometimes - to open one of maps, sometimes not to show - to enter in an error or to hide a bluff. Shorter, open and closed maps can about a great deal say (or to hold back...).

I agree. Maps should be shown only when it is profitable.

I do not know how to do it right, but I never show your cards opponents.

if i have something like pocket aces and make a higher bet than i normally do, i'll show for an opportunity to bluff later

best kept secret)if a good bluff can be shown

I think better keep them secret

If you bluff which Playful doesn't know how to do is neva show your cards under any circumstances. Have other players call you to see what u have she always says!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never, never, never, ever show your cards. Why give all the other players free information? If you won with a bluff, keep it to yourself, if you won with the nuts, keep it to yourself. Players need to pay to see your cards.

Well, they say don't give much info to others on poker but I think that sometimes showing your cards may help set up a bluff next time in a same case

don't show the cards , just full ,straight flus , quads and royal always i don't show my cards just when should

I hardly ever show unless its at a CC league game were Im showing to give credit for the type of play that has just gone down.

sometimes I show my cards when I'm bluffing, sometimes when I have a weak hand to call all-in

showing cards

yes I think showing an occasional hand helps when trying a bluff in the future,

i dont never show, like the secret.. its a important part of the game...
