I've never been a big fan of showing cards, but I've added that to my game and sometimes I like to show one... usually something that doesn't connect or show a card when I actually made a set or something Like this. I see a lot of people who will show ace high or show both cards. I am interested in everyone's approach and feelings on the matter.
I only show when I'm really joking. But it's a bad move.

Depends, if i'm feeling good with a bluff i'll show both, hoping next time we have the nuts he calls off his weaker hands and be a hero when he's actually dead on the river ;)

I never show my cards at all. I don't see the point in this. Moreover, I believe that this is unnecessary information for my opponents.

I rarely show any cards because how other people react may not be the way I want them to act.

depends on the situation, there are times when it is necessary to show the cards, to negatively influence the opponents' thinking about your game (I usually do this a lot at the final table) and in most of the game I think it's unnecessary to show, since there's still a lot to play.

I do not show my cards usually, Well, I did already of course too. But if at all it happens only 2-3 times a year. I even had it already in
settings to muck all cards by default. I think, if someone wants to see my cards he shall pay for this. I do not want to give away free information
about the hands that I play.

honestly I am not in favor of showing either of the two, in poker you should not give your opponent any advantage.

Never. If you want to see em, pay for it. In Poker looking is not free as far as I'm concerned.

I have show cards shut off On ACR. I rarely like to show in the CardsChat games unless it’s against those that try and show a meaningless card or something to needle me. Then I may retaliate the favor. Generally the act of giving information at the table can do more harm than good imo. So I try to stay away from exposed cards.

This card-showing thing is not my style. But out of pride, since the opponent is very aggressive, but folds before the river, so I like to show my card.

I prefer to leave the doubt in the opponent's head, I let him think if it was a bluff or if he had something in his hands, because if I show my cards often I believe he can develop some strategy with this information.

Nowadays I do not show my cards , one or two , none . I do not see why I should do it , free info for no reason , if they want to see my cards , they have to pay me and play up to the showdown .

He never shows cards. When you want to see them during a hand, you have to go in, otherwise you will never see them.

I don't show cards. I do not consider it necessary and do not see any benefit for myself in this.

I always have it on automatic folding, so I never show my cards, not even one. For one, I don't like to show them, and also It's easier and faster that way for me, especially if I'm playing in more than one tournament, meaning one less thing to worry about and being able shift my focus elsewhere faster.

Most of the time none of them, very rarely one card. It is not supported to show often your cards, but sometimes it is okay.

I really think there is no right Anwswer to this Question.
It really depends on the Game Dynamic, I think it's not a good Idea to show someone for free some Information.
BUT sometimes you can use that to your Advantage, show one Card to imply that you didn't hit anything and the next time the Player thinks you bluffed him and calls.

For me it's a nice Option in a long Tourney to play the psych.
