I recently read an article by Daniel Negreanu dealing with revealing your cards after everyone folds and the advatages and disadantages of doing so.
In certain situations, revealing your cards can give you an edge that you can exploit later in the game. There are many ways that revealing your hand can benefit you, especially against novice players.
Revealing your bluff hand, for example might be good for your table image because bad players have very long memories. By showing one of your bluffs, they get to thinking that you do it all the time to steal pots and blinds. When you have the best hand, they will call in situations where they would have folded if you didn't show your bluff.
Even if you show a strong hand, there are advantages to this stragedy. Against a weak player, You will be able to bully him more often because they will think that when you bet, it's always because you have great cards, even if you don't. Also, it can scare away aggressive players.
An aggressive player won't attack as much becuase they will think back to when you raised before and had a strong hand.
The times when you shouldn't reveal your hand is against great players. It's a more effective stragedy against less skilled players.
