Show or Muck

[jgdesabato]

Muck or show? when a bluff works, but is not recommended.

 

[nucl]

I never show my hand.
I will make my opponent going crazy eatch time they fold.
And in a showdown i will almost have the best hand.And the time i'm going to bluff he will believe that i have it!

 

[Xmaster]

I never show my cards. I don't think it's clever to show them, because your opponents get more informations about you and are able to read you better.

Try to never show any cards unless your having a very loose image on the table. You can show a good hand to make players believe that you werent bluffing in any previous hand even if you did. You might also show a strong mucking hand against a player who you think has a better hand than yours. If you are able to fold a good hand you will get more respect from the other players specially if you find out you have made the right fold.

 

[deceptionist99]

Showing is only applicable when building an image or setting up a play later in a session to induce action or fold equity if your bets are not getting respected

 

[mcbogart]

It's very rare I show my cards. It's just too much information given away.

 

[Serkish]

I hardly show, I'll always muck unless I have nuts then I'll show. I like to have my opponents think I play straight up so when I do go for the bluff, they think I have the winning hand. If I get caught in a bluff then I tighten up. But I would say always muck.

It's always differently. As like Daniel Negreanu (If I don't wrong): I essentially just need to be more creative/aggressive in bluffing situations and that makes the game kind of fun.

 

[Arfer]

I never show in an open tourney or cash game
Home game or forum game i might do for a bit of banter

 

[ntbornkiller]

some times to fk the sht of loosers i show my succeed bluf hands

 

[FromHereOn]

I'll show if it has no bearing on my future play. One example is if a table folds down to me on the BB preflop, and I have 2 4 off, it's a goof but I'll show.

Also, most hand histories will display a beaten muck on showdown, so if it helps establish a TAG narrative, it isn't necessarily a bad move to show a busted strong top two pair against a set, the 2nd nuts, or a bad river beat.

I'll quick-muck 99% of hands, but I always want the option.

 

[dumbdonut]

I never show

 

[Greg0201]

I never show ... but if im on a table with the same people some times i will show so they think they know how i play then i change it up lol

 

[motorcity1957]

no show, i never do. I also ignore cards other players who show,

 

[limpnfold88]

never show your hand unless you have to. or if you know it's gonna put someone on monkey tilt to show a bluff. but then that means you have to stop bluffing lol

 

[dead homie]

auto muck, i wouldnt care if they could see em though

 

[Ray Sliva]

I'm gonna stop showing cards; bluff or not. Still learning and being weak, I may be giving up to much information. Hopefully this will help me until I learn how to use such a tool.

That's a ridiculous statement, are you trolling?

 

[limpnfold88]

That's a ridiculous statement, are you trolling?

I do not understand. What is trolling?

 

[Fussy]

Most of the time I dont know, but I will show some times when I keep getting good hands, because otherwise they'd be thinking I am just stealing their blinds, and can make them call me more when I have less stronger hands, if I show I am not bluffing every hand and that I actually have a good holding will gain more respect and have them fold more, and some times it gives you room to bluff if you have shown only good cards

 

[Stephenunited]

The only time I show is when I'm in the bb with aces and I get a walk.

Yep!

 

[titomurcia1214]

Do not show your hand is recommended by the most depends on what your game plan, but one when in a table playing sometimes feels and shows

 

[c1g]

i personally never show online, i always have the auto muck button on.
was thinking about turning it off, to show the occasional strong hand.
live i have shown some strong hands before, but still seldom.

 

[rushdaman]

I will never show my cards on any occasion because it shows at least a set of cards you like to play. I believe that my opponents can only gain information about me if i show my hand/cards and information about myself is noooooo good imho. So always MUCK!

 

[timfbmx]

I will show every blue moon for various reasons. Put someone on tilt, be a nice guy to show that they made a good play, for the lols, ect... But for the most part I don't show at all 95% of the time.
