Show the bluff?

[dg1267]

Usually, I only show a bluff if I want to change my table image. If the players see me as a thght/aggressive player, showing them a bluff will change that. Other than that, I usually don't show.

I really never thought about using it that way. Thanks for adding that. I can use that from time to time.

I would say only show the bluff if you can use it to your advantage.

You cant see the other players hand with the last hand feature on Full Tilt.

I would find it most disturbing that you could see a players cards after the hand has been completed.

I cleared this up in my earlier post. The cards OP is talking about looking up out of curiosity are mucked cards! You can see mucked cards in last hand feature in FT, as I look them up all the time.

You cannot see folded hands just mucked hands.

My Uncle who I play poker with a lot ( He's 93 ) told me a "Monkey shows his A$$ and a Sucker shows his hand"

My cards are only shown on pay-per-view.

Lol!

I bet people have complained to you a lot of times saying ":deal: I didn't see this!"

I have auto muck on so I am never even tempted to show.

I rarely show a bluff. Only if my opponent has been a real @%$! and it just happened to be the critical blow to their stack. But I have found it useful to show winning hands - depending on the situation and usually only in heads up games. Sometimes it helps back an aggressive opponent down. Sometimes it aids your bluff the next go around. To me, it all depends on the skill level and playing style of the opponent (Donkey, agressive, etc.).

ill show some of my bluffs and some of my monsters that got away. you have to keep people thinking. its not giving away too much info. its just to confuse the hell out of them later. play mind games.

I say no in almost any situation I like to leave a little mystery to my playing style, although showing it off can get in a player's head
