Do you usually show your cards?

[ammje]

Sometimes I do, especially when I'm playing against a crazy player.

 

[viacheslavtezikov]

No, I never show my cards. I don't see the point for my opponent to understand what range of cards I'm playing with.

 

[slais_pro]

I very rarely show my cards

 

[Bhzrd588]

I don't, because i don't want give information about my gameplay to other players.
I have done it only a few times intentionally when i bluffed so hard on a player just to piss him off!

 

[HaroldHouse]

Almost never. I only show if I think itll agitate someone that has ticked me off. LOL

 

[pirateglenn]

No usually but i mix that up dependent on my table image and that of the person i am raising!

 

[regimail1990]

I do sometimes to see I didn't bluff

 

[mavrulit]

I don't see the point of showing the cards to the opponent. Why would he know if I was bluffing or not. Most of the time I don't show my cards.

 

[Arnakk2424]

No reason to give more info to all the peoples around the table

 

[razarach_xD]

I always show ! If you pay me....
Really, almost never....
sometimes when few people go all in, I show one low card, just for fun to show I couldn't go all in.
Or in situation when I want to protect my ranges and if I loose from better flush, just to point I wasn't bluffing..so next time he thinks: can he have it again ?
But we ( players ) have to pick those spots carefully....

I show it only in case of urgent need or when I see that the player is worried about folding a good hand after my 3Bet :angel:

 

[funnyhook3]

I very often really want to open my cards during a win in a hand. But I often hide them so that my opponents do not understand how I play, it doesn’t often work out (

3bet bluff and show my opponent 62o to tilt and get mad

 

[seraxel]

Usually no. In rare situations live, yes.

 

[Justcall529]

I rarely show, when i do its for a specific reason, usually to try to make my opponents think i always have something when i bet. Rarely i will show a bluff to help tilt someone.

 

[BillyR23]

I rarely do it as I just don't think it's a good idea to give free information to your opponents... if it's a community game or just some 'fun' event, than I'm more likely to show the hand to add to the fun- especially if it was a good bluff

GLGL all at the tables!

 

[xaj9x]

Not when I try not to do this, only if I have a royal flush, well, this happened to me only twice[emoji3][emoji3]. Many players carefully observe the cards and your ranges, this can play a cruel joke with you[emoji28]

 

[DanS87]

I pretty much never show my cards. I prefer to keep people guessing about the hands I’m playing. Only time’s I have are in games with friends.

Some other people have commented about showing to try and build an image they can exploit later, but I feel that, thats a double edged sword. It might get people to play more loosely against you, but could also end up with you overplaying a hand because you're assuming peoples play styles have changed more than they actually have.

I’m not doubting some people are able to make use of this strategy, but I certainly wouldn’t

 

[dongato2]

no, I think it is better to leave the doubt

 

[Kaothi]

Mostly I don't show my cards. When I hit something, but thinking my opponent has the better hand, I don't show my cards, before I fold. The reason: When the other player bluffed, I don't want him to know he tricked me, cause otherwise he/she will do/try it again.
I also don't show my cards, when I just lost the game, because of the river, side card or things like that. Sometimes this happens more than once and my opponents think, I just call everything. When you later hit the best hand, usually the other players don't believe you and pay more money or even call an all.in.

 

[German629]

I don't show the my cards never ever. Why to give additional information :deal: the my rivals?!.:smile:

 

[Recreationalplayer]

As a general rule, I dont show my cards. But at times I do just for fun.

 

[mateuszjason]

I do not show my cards, Weak players too much think what i had and he is tilting faster.

 

[Tacticgambler]

I will always show my cards , when i did a bluff i really think it's a good strategy , after that i will make sure to go with the best hand or good hand , like that people that seen my bluff before will be more tempted to call me

 

[Ragonesi]

I show one of the cards most of the time, so you can trick your opponent, it all depends on how the table is being handled
