Do you usually show your cards ?

[tihomir_kula]

Sometimes I show my cards,when is not important.Open cards often help other players.

 

[schtiuky]

nope not usualy

 

[leogetz79]

not at all, almost never, only when i have the absolute nuts i will show just for the fun of having quads, straight flush etc....

 

[marinko19]

Nope

 

[Money2812]

To show or not to show.

I usually muck my cards but there can be reasons to show. If you are wanting to show the table that your bet was justified by showing a strong hand, or to show that you just won on a bluff. Showing a bluff may cause other players to call your bets with weaker hands.

 

[tomatientje]

Never say never

I won't say I never show my cards, but normally I don't, and normally means >99,9 %.
I made an exception for royal flush once, just because it is such an unbelievable hand.
Another time I showed was when I got rockets twice, after an all in situation with the first pair of rockets were I had to show anyway, I showed the second time for fun.

To show or not to show.

I usually don't show but here are strategic elements to the occasional show. Showing a week hand can influence players to call with weaker hands. And showing a strong hand can make players less confident in calling your bets.

Showing the bluff cards to the villain can lead him to tilt.

 

[PEGAMEUALLIN]

show me when you're at the end, a good surprise

I never show, you always have to make your opponent thoughtful

 

[Zeke67]

Absolutely....

...never!!! Live or online does not matter I absolutely never show a card unless I have to. I want to give no information or as little as I can in all situations. Good or bad. That’s just me and how I play the game.

Stay Safe

We were discussing this only the other day
I definitely believe that you can influence somebody’s play later on by showing certain hands

 

[Bugi]

Almost never. I think that's giving away information. It's better to make them wonder. I don't gloat when I take a bad beat or rub it in if I give a bad beat or win a hand with a bluff.

 

[Geoff445]

I have never been the type to do so, a good magician never reveals his secrets.

 

[betang]

almost never.

 

[BigCountryAA]

Never. Information should never be free.

 

[totosa35]

if my cards showed my opponent will get to know my game better, I always hide it, making it difficult to read the hands I try to play. remembering that poker is a game with a lot of information, the less information I give the better.

 

[Uncloggie]

What do you think about rooms revealing them anyway? Maybe you did not realize it but 888 reveals all (non folded) hands in the replay. I believe this is happening at poker stars too.

Try it and see - next time you wonder what they had check the replay.

Anyway, if not too many people are aware it is an advantage.... maybe I shouldn't be letting the cat out of the bag.

 

[Galette71]

no never ... but some player are alway happy to show them when they got u folded for nothing

 

[Kingblack74]

You have to pay to see the cards period poo:smile:

 

[MikeDTT]

Only bluff haha , no only biggest hands

As far as I know all sites reveal the hands at showdown.

 

[Panda19977]

[brookes007]

[Anders1616]

No, if they want to see my charts, they have to pay.

 

[Bubi2934]
