Showing your cards.

[Djon25]

When two players go all-in, I show my cards when I fold them.

It is ultimately up to you whether or not you feel comfortable showing your cards in the home game. However, it is important to consider the dynamics of the group and how your actions may affect the overall game. If you are being pressured to show your cards and it is making you uncomfortable, it may be best to speak with the other players and explain your concerns. Additionally, it is not necessary to ask to see other players' cards in order to justify not showing your own. Each player has the right to make their own decisions about whether or not to show their cards.

In person I never showed my cards, only when i happen to go to the all-in, online sometimes i show when I'm out and with a great hand

Its a home game! Have fun. Show cards if that makes 'em happy. In real game, I never show cards except showdown.

Showing the cards is not always a bad playing.You can show a bluff and make opponents confused about their next calls..I don't show my cards but I don't use this strategy either

So i play in a home game at 1/2 dollar blinds and i run good enough to profit just about every time I play there. So I am weird about showing my whole cards as I had played in my local casino in the past and gain an advantage by not showing my cards. So just about everyone at this home game likes to show their cards and I am the only one who has a problem doing so and am just about being harassed into showing sometimes so I have been showing at times. I also don't ever ask to see anyone else's cards so I think I shouldn't feel bad if I go back to not showing them at all as some of the players there have been gaining too much information from this. Should I feel bad about this?

You have to decide for yourself what is good and what is bad for you. Only you have to make the decision. The wishes and needs of your opponents have absolutely no meaning. I never show cards, no matter who my opponent is.

If they want to see their cards they must pay to see. By showing your cards you are passing information about your game. It's okay if you show 1x in every 50 hands. But why show?
