Showing Winning Hands

[Banjois]

nothing beats showing a "whoops, here my 72" when everybody's folded on a big pot

I noticed lots of people showed their AA after shoved preflop and no one called, what did they try to accomplished? I'm confused by this move

Не всегда конечно надо показывать карты,но иногда надо чтобы вывести соперника из равновесия.

Me too. Why do you want to risk the whole stack to win the blinds? What is the risk vs reward for this? If it weren't for dreamers there would be no poker.

I also never show any cards , unless I have to , or am playing friendly game with my friends , then its whatever . I want to show him how I bluffed him , but only cause he's my m8. To random people , never ! Let there be question marks above their heads after he/she folded :icon_bigs
No free info !

I think there 2 reasons why a player shows there hand
when he had winn with a bluff ,he wants that you call the next time and then he has a good hand
or when he has win with very good cards ,he wants that you not call when he rise with a bader hand
I did not show my cards

I agree with most - never show hands. But there was a glitch in 888 that was recently fixed, all hands were revealed in the playback. pokerstars had this glitch too, not sure if it's fixed yet.

I usually also do not show my hand. Why would I? If they want to see my hand, they have to pay for it. There are certainly some spots where you want to build a certain image. But this has to make sense.

It depends on the image you want to convey to your opponent...in short, you are always bluffing.....

Hello. If I want them to know I had them, I may show, Otherwise, I do not.

 

[Zapahlohotrona]

I never show winning hands, I even have that in my settings.

 

[Minakshi]

I follow a kind of mixed strategy wherein sometimes I do sometimes i don't

 

[StackThis]

Those who show never know.
Those who know never show.

 

[samircyber9]

winning hands not really, but i do show AA sometimes after a bad beat

 

[Suuky10]

I have auto muck selected when i play online and I have never played a live game to know what i would do in that situation!

Depends on the villain. If it harms his game in any way I'll show it quietly to affect him. I can see that some players end up tilting a lot when you call a crazy bluff and they end up leveling against you.
