There were plenty of times in the past I would show and for various reasons,
a) to attempt to setup for a later hand by showing my bluff - never really worked out the way I wanted - its not like I have the ability to know I will get cards next time.
b) I play in a number of private games that used internet radio to broadcast the game and it was common if you got heads up to show cards so the people still watching had something to see, this was usually requested by the acting commentator, but never required. Sometimes I did sometimes I didn't.
c) Sometimes Live if I think I can tilt someone or impress upon someone how I am running good (also rarely worked for me in the long run) so I stoppped.
Today I rarely if ever show. I take the game a little more seriously and feel if you want to see my cards you must call my bet, otherwise I let the cards go to the muck. If I bet and someone folds but shows their cards I also muck, because of what I just stated.
