Show the winning hand?

Show the winning hand?
There are three possibilities:
1 - Do not show. The easiest possibility, because no one will know your strategy.
2 - Show, but to confuse your opponents.
3 - Show, showing that you do not bluff, but this is the most complicated because it can show how you play.

What do you think?

do not show, ever!!

only time I show is when its paid for. we don t need to give away info and showing is so often misinterpeted

As mentioned above "Auto Muck" is KEY!

Information is gold. The fish will never remember your hand anyway, and don't really care.
The better players are collecting information. Every time I see somebodies hand and how they played it, it adds information behind their play.

do not show... only if someone bet on what u got, it happens to me in home games with friends

If villain shows strong hand in the end, it means for me that he often bluffs. And by this he wants to convince others that he plays regularly, by cards. In opposite case he may have a monster next time if you think he bluffs again.

Because of this, I show cards.

if you have a monster hand i think you should show it, cause everybody knows that you don't bluff

Don't give away any information that you don't have to. There are very rare circumstances were maybe playing against weaker opponents it can be lucrative by misleading them. But in general keeping people guessing is the best way to play.

Option 1 for me ..haha

Online you can muck, but don't allow players to muck in a live game if there is a call on the last street. I played with a couple of guys who would not show their hands and agree among themselves which won without showing. Bad form

It's good to mix it up a little bit. Show a bluff sometimes to trap later. Do not show and always win your showdowns to up your rep.

 

[zbdky]

I sometimes show my buffs, but stick to the first option

 

[penkov1990]

it depends, mostly don`t show, cause that`s my strategy, but sometimes i show- straight flush or pair of Aces.

 

[max_cool20]

I show cards just to scare my opponents and to mislead them!

 

[Edson]

I never show my hands. Sometimes It's ok when You have a plan against specyfic player, but in general better is not to show hands

 

[Bury]

Keep them secret
