show your cards when you fold

#1 December 18th, 2017, 8:04 PM

My question is this, that you get to show your cards to fold? although already you lost your hand or you delivered so that they do, or show you just one letter, strategy? or to alleviate the fact that you lost your hand?

Why give an opponent extra information?

#3 December 18th, 2017, 8:48 PM

i do sometimes to improve my table appearence or affect how people see me

#4 December 18th, 2017, 8:57 PM

I never show my cards after the fall. It does not matter what kind of cards I had.

#5 December 18th, 2017, 9:01 PM

I love it when other people show their cards. I usually make a note of what they played and how they played it in case I get into a big hand against them later. I ESPECIALLY love seeing when they fold the winning hand. That ALWAYS warrants a note!

I never show my own cards though.

I will occasionally show my hand when I want to project a certain image of myself. I'll show a bluff and then tighten up, or I'll show a premium hand and try a bluff.

#7 December 18th, 2017, 9:19 PM

I never show my cards and sometimes wonder why some do!

#8 December 18th, 2017, 9:39 PM

Sometimes I show my hand for given an image about me(but in next hands I can play in other strategy)

#9 December 18th, 2017, 9:45 PM

as for me, is pure Strategy, normally, I show a useless card, so that they migth think I am a normal Blufferr!

#10 December 18th, 2017, 9:59 PM

I only show my cards when I didn't play my normal style.

I will show my cards for a few reasons. If I limp reraise , or limp call with a strong hand and the guy folds I will show sometimes to let everyone know I use that play. That way in the future I can limp with suited cards and they wont raise me out. I will show a hand were I check raised from blinds when I flopped a strong hand if they don't call. This shows them that I defend my blinds, so stop trying to steal and that I trap. By them knowing I trap I can then get cheaper draws because they know I trap. I show a few hands to improve my table image of being tight and not raising with trash. I show strong hands on buttons from time to time to show that I'm not stealing in position. Since I am aware that I am giving this info out I switch up my play so its hard to tell. I have found that its easier to bluff after you have set up a solid table image that gets respect, by reassuring there reads from time to time makes them more willing to fold and give you respect for a hand, especially if you show them the same betting patterns when you had the nuts.

sometimes but very rarely!)

#13 December 18th, 2017, 11:03 PM

Yeah, no reason to give extra information to your opponents, unless you wanna setup some latter move.

#14 December 19th, 2017, 5:56 AM

I always try to reveal, the least amount of information as possible. Therefore, will not show my cards, if I do not have to.

#15 December 19th, 2017, 7:04 AM

I rarely show my card at any time and even less when I fold. But I do on occasion show when I’m making a big fold. I show big folds because I make loose calls and by showing a big fold players tend to think that you can be easily bluffed.

#16 December 19th, 2017, 9:33 AM

I don't show their cards after the fall, why give the opponents information about your game.

#17 December 19th, 2017, 10:00 AM

Summing up all the answers you should ONLY show your cards if you now exactly what are you doing and what you are trying to achieve by that.

As some said you can show it to project a certain image of yourself when in reality your play is completely different.

Never show your cards just to brag, then you are just giving your opponents free information.

#18 December 19th, 2017, 10:24 AM

I prefer showing a bluf and nuts, so people think and cought a note about my play, but one little think that they don't know I like to change a game, so I do not play the same anytime.. it takes me advantage. Often situation is when they think I bluff but I'm not, and otherwise.

Sometimes it's good to show a good hand to fold

#20 December 19th, 2017, 1:41 PM

I show the card, but not always for the sake of respect to the opponent.

#21 December 19th, 2017, 2:22 PM

only show a good hand a few times and then it will be possible in certain situations to log in with poor opponents will trust you that you only with good hands
or Vice versa to show the bad and then play good
depends on the situation you want to create

To give info about my style? No, thank you

#23 December 19th, 2017, 6:04 PM

I think showing the cards is part of the strategy, either to make them believe that you always bluff or that you play with cards. once established this no longer shows and serves to force the game as you want.

#24 December 19th, 2017, 7:10 PM

why show your cards after folding? I do not see this in mind, you just give players at your table more information about the style of your game

#25 December 19th, 2017, 7:25 PM

I never show my cards when I fold or when I lose. I don't want anybody to know my playing strategy so they will not get any clues from my cards.

#26 December 19th, 2017, 8:21 PM

I only show my hand in cases where I think it will be good for the game, never in a tough cash game or a tourny

#27 December 19th, 2017, 8:31 PM

No. Let our opponents think what you want.

#28 December 19th, 2017, 8:33 PM

I don't want to show

#30 December 20th, 2017, 5:02 AM

i dont show never, because i give information of my game

#31 December 20th, 2017, 2:40 PM

I do not show, i just dont see something good in that. You display information to all players for free.

#32 December 20th, 2017, 3:13 PM

Never show your cards. Keep the opponent guessing

#33 December 20th, 2017, 3:22 PM

Never (Ok, except if the adversary show before).

#34 December 20th, 2017, 4:17 PM

As for me, I show my cards but not always, I do that to some respect to other players and when it is important for the game

#35 December 22nd, 2017, 5:55 PM

Sometimes not all the times, you want to play conservative. Some times is good but not all the time.
