And you, show your cards on occasion?

#1 January 4th, 2020, 7:56 PM

Last August, in one of my first freeroll club games, I had begun to show my cards by copying some players who did, when Alienat advised me not provide that free information. Not long after, I was able to win a tournament because my final opponent showed me all his bluffs, so it was not difficult to discover his betting pattern. Today I do not show my cards almost never, except for the case, for example, that a friend in the league asks me to see one after fold a great pot. But in the club there is always a player who shows his cards. Sometimes the bluffs, I suppose to frustrate the opponents, sometimes the nuts, and sometimes random hands whose meaning escapes me. I am very grateful to those who generously deliver that information for free.
And you, show your cards on occasion? Do you think that in some cases it can be beneficial?

There might be some instances when showing your cards could manipulate opponents decisions (show 53o after the 3rd BTN-steal maybe) - but generally showing nothing is better I think. Let them pay to keep you honest.

#3 January 4th, 2020, 8:15 PM

My favorite reason to show cards is if it encourages my opponent to do the same but this tactic is only used in cash games for me (where ranges are much wider/creative). My thinking is I should be deviating from my standard ranges a lot playing these kind of recs anyway so when I show my cards in situations where I've isolated this player type in late position it's not necessarily giving much away.

#4 January 4th, 2020, 8:36 PM

Unless you know what you're doing, better not show.
But if you can tilt your opponent by showing, than please do!

#5 January 4th, 2020, 8:45 PM

better not show... And you, show your cards on occasion?

#6 January 4th, 2020, 8:50 PM

I never show my cards less information they have the better. And you, show your cards on occasion?

#7 January 4th, 2020, 8:55 PM

I do not show my cards, hate to give up any info.

#8 January 4th, 2020, 8:56 PM

I never show its your prorogative to do so if you wish, but I prefer to keep em guessing!

#9 January 4th, 2020, 8:57 PM

YEA FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT I THINK IT REALLY DEPENDS ON SITUATION And you, show your cards on occasion?

#10 January 4th, 2020, 9:37 PM

Of course there are different situations, but I almost never show my cards. Obviously, my opponents can use such information against me.

#11 January 4th, 2020, 11:03 PM

Usually I do not show them, especially in buy-in games. There is also a possibility for a try to trick you sometimes when someone shows some of his cards, so you must consider all the factors that effect the game.

#12 January 4th, 2020, 11:29 PM

Never give free information.

#13 January 4th, 2020, 11:46 PM

I do not show my cards.

#14 January 4th, 2020, 11:53 PM

I don't see him blessing to show your cards, if the opponent does it by bluffing in a mocking tone even if I win an equal hand I don't show anything And you, show your cards on occasion?

The only times I have ever shown my cards is when I take blinds with premium hands (so next time can steal them with garbage)

Rarely so, I may show a bluff ...but I have stopped that more recently. showing bluffs almost always puts opponents on tilt.

The first thing I learned when I started playing was not showing my cards, because poker is a game of small advantages, for this reason we should not give information to the opponent, since then whenever I play I look for the option of �not showing the hand�.

Now, if we think about the benefits of showing the cards to the rival, we can think that by showing certain bluff or certain hands of value we can influence the image we have on the table, so that we can give false information to the rival; A very simple example is to show a bluff and then play only for value. But I think this works more playing live than playing online, because there is a greater psychological effect, emotions emerge when they show you a bluff in the face, but when you play more than 350 hands per hour you don't give it so much importance and you only take rival's note.

In conclusion if we want to have a little fun or want to influence our image on the table, show your bluff little by little if you play live, but when you play online do not give information to your rivals.

#17 January 5th, 2020, 2:42 AM

I never show, but the sites like stars show all cards if it goes to a show down.

#18 January 5th, 2020, 7:53 PM

I do not show, I think it is valuable information for the opponent.

#19 January 5th, 2020, 8:01 PM

I agree. No need to give too much information.

#20 January 5th, 2020, 8:07 PM

I show my cards either when I put together a Quad or a straight flush. This technique is useful when your opponents tend to gamble. So I make it clear that my raises should be respected and not shove any two when I'm behind

#21 January 6th, 2020, 3:31 AM

Depends who I am playing.

I always show quads and hands above when playing with friends. I never show when playing with strangers.

#22 January 6th, 2020, 3:33 AM

I suppose the only time it can be beneficial is if you're trying to alter your table image.

#23 January 6th, 2020, 3:47 AM

Rarely but I do show from time to time... want to keep your opponents guessing as much as possible.

#24 January 6th, 2020, 4:14 AM

Dont EVER show your cards no matter what. unless you're trying to show a very specific message. What that message is, is up to you to answer.

#25 January 6th, 2020, 6:01 AM

Sometimes you can and should give information. It all depends on the opponents. No one says you need to open all your hands. But in is that open 1 2 hands nothing terrible there is no. For example, successfully passing a bluff and showing the opponent will make him play more aggressively, which will increase the range of hands and lead to an error.

#26 January 6th, 2020, 10:38 AM

I don't show my cards. It's a very childish way to make to others aggressive. In addition, no one deserves to see your cards if they folded.

#27 January 6th, 2020, 10:49 AM

I never show my cards, but I can not understand many of the poker cards are sent in the pass card contender even if he sits out in front of me and his hand is worse (in normal poker except that possible?)

#28 January 6th, 2020, 10:57 AM

You need to know how to do it properly. If you re not sure, dont do it. No information is good. False information is much better and much harder to do. You need to know when to show and against who. Its really tricky and you need some manipulation experience but it can be a great weapon in your arsenal, but even if you know dont do it often.

#29 January 6th, 2020, 11:02 AM

Once caught you bluff. I think the poker mind game of showing a bluff is part of the nerd technique to get your opponents on the defensive.

#30 January 6th, 2020, 11:32 AM

No, I'm not showing it. I don't think it's a big deal, though. Yes, sometimes you can show it, especially when you've made a good bluff. Jan or Vice versa, that you were not joking. And so I do not see the point of showing.

My only show is BB and the table folded all around and I won the SB and antes if there were any. Something to maybe upset the SB if it's like 26 and they missed an easy opportunity to raise with what they had and steal my blind. Or to show I had a high PP and how unlucky after playing tight that I missed the chance to play that hand.

#33 January 6th, 2020, 4:19 PM

I prefer don't show my cards. But I already did it in the past to tilt opponents.

#34 January 6th, 2020, 4:23 PM

I never show my cards.

#35 January 6th, 2020, 4:55 PM

I do not show my pocket cards. I think that it is possible to show cards if there is a purpose, for example, to mislead an opponent.

#36 January 6th, 2020, 5:01 PM

I never show my cards unless it is at the end of the hand that shows my winning hand . No need to give other players any information on how I play or what hands I play. Keep em guessing LOL And you, show your cards on occasion?

Always love it when others show their cards and I will take notes on them such as the guy that loves to show his bluff with his 2 - 7 off suit --

Good Luck to you at the tables !

Cheers And you, show your cards on occasion?

#37 January 6th, 2020, 6:44 PM

I only show to ****y guys

Buts is not a good idea in general

#38 January 8th, 2020, 12:11 AM

It may be okay playing online, but I never show my cards in a live game. Reason being if someone thinks they have a read on you, and you show and they were right in what they were thinking, then you just gave them a boatload of info.

#39 January 8th, 2020, 12:16 AM

In on line time ago I showed them on certain occasions. Not now. I've activated the automuck.

#40 January 8th, 2020, 3:23 AM

Never show unless paid to!! I would say a rare occasion way late in a big tournament(LIKE 1). Keep them guessing saves poker face! And you, show your cards on occasion?

#41 January 8th, 2020, 3:53 AM

For myself, I don't show my cards because

1. I would give information away

2. I don't see the advantages of the occasional show.

#42 January 8th, 2020, 4:02 AM

Sometime, when i had flush strength, but this year, two time, the players paid.

This

#44 January 8th, 2020, 8:40 AM

I do not show my hand because I feel that he should have to pay me if he want to know!

#45 January 8th, 2020, 12:28 PM

Showing your cards can be part of one strategy, not just "for fun" or "I'm so kind take a look Im not bluffing" And you, show your cards on occasion?

. If you know how to use this strategy it can really help sometimes

#46 January 8th, 2020, 12:35 PM

If a Player has a streak of bad luck and i feel like i can tilt him by showing a bluff I will try it otherwise its not worth giving away information.

#47 January 8th, 2020, 12:52 PM

I never show my cards when I play with unfamiliar players, but sometimes I show them in Cardschat !!!

#48 January 8th, 2020, 3:16 PM

It depends, if I think it may cause you to tilt, I will.

#49 February 24th, 2020, 11:19 AM

Yeah, it was then an upset then wrote me a chat and was angry And you, show your cards on occasion?

So yes showed, sometimes I get angry when others do it ... And you, show your cards on occasion?
