hi guys
just wondering everyones view on showing cards. If you raise and they fold, or if a pre flop raise causes a load of people to fold do you show or not?
I sometimes show if I raise from a blind steal position and I have a premium holding so people don't think I'm blind stealing. Any other time I don't know when it is useful to show. I don't want to give free info.
The most common example is if I raise big, or re-raise and someone folds people often show me what they are folding. All this tells me is what they are willing to fold under pressure.
There are also two ideas I read the first is (from Harrington on online cash games if I remember correctly) that if you bluff someone badly out of a pot, show them your crap cards to cause them to tilt. The other idea I read but can't remember where is that doing this is risky as an enemy at the table will make it their mission to destroy you.
Any ideas. Should I keep doing what I'm doing or start showing at time to time?
