Hi there folk-a-renos
I must say I prefer lying about it more than actually showing.
LIVE CASH GAME A FEW WEEKS AGO
I had a guy lay down KK preflop (he flipped them over) after I came over the top of him. My table image told him I could only possibly have AA.
I had a fit about how in the hell he could lay down KK preflop and how he screwed my ability to take down a big pot - blah, blah, blah. I actually stormed out of the room (I had to pee).
I held JJ.
Wanted him to believe that it was brilliant lay down to reinforce his stupidity.
now that was funny
Im not sure what the benefits of showing are. I think there is a good reason for really good LAGs to show so they can show people they raise or 3bet light and get more action when they have a premium hand. I just keep the check on auto muck if not called and never show unless I win on the river.
I generally don't like to display the cards...it will come and bite you in the ass in the end. I also don't think chatting is very smart either while playing
If you show once you may as well show every time.
You should never show online, especially since you will be multiabling anyway.
Showing cards live is fine, especially if you are not a reg at the casino because the short term benefits will outweigh the long term. (so long as you actually show for a specific reason.)
