I always say that seeing what I have is paying for free information, never if you want to be profitable in this game, don't be kidding me

The best way for your opponents for input and that's foolish

Hi, I hardly ever show my cards, it would be to give information to my rivals, I once showed a bluff and that because sometimes you also have to enjoy those types of hands ... and try to tilt my opponent:D

Poker is a game of information. The more of it that you give away for free, the more edge you are also giving away.

I rarely show but a win with a 7 - 2 is often a good show for me as it seems to put my opponent off his game for a hand or two.

Depends...

I show jerks bluffs...I show respectful people the nuts sometimes...I very rarely show big pairs to folders. Also, if the game is a big tourney, never show anything I do not have to show.

I don't like to show so I don't give information to opponents.

I never show my cards, be it a bluff or a monster combination. Who wants to see let him pay :).

pokerstars also has such a function, but I completely agree with you that it is nonsense to show your cards, so I blocked showing hands if I suddenly succumb to an impulse and also want to show my cards later. Why give your opponents information about your style of play?

Show or Not Show




I never show. In my mind, showing is giving your opponents information for free. I am always looking for and edge on my opponents at the poker table and I and not convinced that showing my cards offers any edge. Additionally, sometimes I see people do it just to be a jerk. If you want to see my cards, you are going to have to pay me off on the showdown. No ifs, ands or buts about it. I am tempted to show sometimes in satellites but I resist the urge. I am glad that the option has been added on ACR and who knows, I may have a change of heart at some point but for the time being, I am not showing voluntarily.

Usually no show, but occasionally can be useful to keep a table in a good mood or place.

No show, why to give some intel for free about yourself.

hi

Hello friend, I never show my cards, it is not good that they see your way of playing. I think it is damaging your game strategy.

I will show at various time for various reasons. If I start playing loose and it seems like I am pushing just to win hands, then I will show an awesome hand just to make people think I am still playing tight with my hands. Other times late in the game I will show bad cards after a shove to entice others to shove with me next time. This is a small game I play and most of the time it is just for amusement during the game. It is sometimes best to keep the competition guessing and never let them get a good read on your play.

All things being equal, I don't show. That said there are times when showing one card can put a player on tilt, especially when the player is OOP.

It is a decision of each one but I prefer not to provide information to my opponents under any circumstances. Too much they already get with poker programs
