OK you can occasionally show if you want to show your bluff, This will also dishearten your opponents

There are now many games on ACR that will allow you to show or not show your cards.
Is there a more stupid method of giving your opponents vital information about the way you play?
Is it ego or self importance that makes them do this?. I thank them for being severely stupid, but you won't catch me showing
heres the catch... information shared is selective.
If you RARELY BLUFF EVER BUT DECIDE TO SHOW YOUR BLUFFS
Then the information given to your opponents should be misleading as we are not bluffers
We should get slightly more calls adding to our EV+

I rather not show. Sometimes I'll show a bluff or two if a person is too tight just to loosen them up a bit.

By default i do not show but there are some cases when showing may help. For example if you are tight player and show bluff you can make your opponents to more easily call your bet next time when you have strong hand. So just like everything in poker - it depends.

Showing cards is similar to chatting.

Showing your cards, is a distraction to your game. I don't waste my focus on whether to show your dead cards is a good way to start a losing streak.
Chatting, online, or at a live table, is another distraction, taking your focus away from the game. My policy is: no chatting and no showing cards.

It’s all apart of the game! A good bluff can really tilt someone to play more aggressive the next time y’all go head to head. This time you might not be bluffing and catch them off guard. Could also work against you if they think your are prone to bluff. If you show it shouldn’t be often

It all depends... But I will tell you if you do it make you feel good not the right reason. It is opponent dependent. If I feel that me showing my cards will not only make the opponent in the hand mad and others give me less respect than I will show a bluff. But I rarely do it.

I never show my cards because even if you want your opponents to think you're bluffing or you're TAG, you have to be a very good player because if you're not then it's no use because you'll still be looking for better cards and you'll fold every hand you can.

I rarely show my cards, but appreciate when I fold seeing the opponents card if they had the better hand.

I don't show at all, even if it's a bluff or if I have good cards.
If it's up to me, I'll only show it if they pay me, that's the game. LOL

When the time is right. Show can be a good setup for a future hand.

NEVER SHOW

Don't show your cards ever.

You ruin the game that way.


Thank you for listening!

Hi, there is an option, an easy way to do it is by going to our settings. Under "playing tools", "Gameplay settings'.

Hope this information helps!
