he never showed the cards, much less bluffed if they don't pay me.

Sometimes it can serve as strategy to show the cards when bluffing to enter the psychological game with your opponents, perhaps they will tilt and make mistakes, or they may be doubtful in the next hands you play against them.

I never show my cards, because any information I give to my villain he will have a better chance of beating me, the more I happened to show because the guy was the whole game getting me on the table and after a good bluff I showed the cards for him, I let my emotion control my action but it didn't happen again because today I dominate all the actions that I commit on the tables.

I won't show my card. We think it's more strategic not to disclose any information that could be used against us, even a little bit.

I never show my cards in this situations, don't give any information to the villains to read you. Every time u show ur cards, people can make notes about you and get easier to play against you.

Zero reason to show and give that info to other players for free. If they want to see what I had, and if I was bluffing or not, they need to call the bet, simple as that imo.

No need to give free info to your opponent.

Im never showing

I saw many professional players show their cards when bluffing. It is more and they celebrate it by showing the cards.

I avoid showing the same cards, whatever the situation, with or without a bluff. Keeping the "secret" during the game is one of my goals.

I love this approach

showing cards is obviously for a purpose. i dont ever.

If I could, I wouldn't show the cards anyway

Nothing bluff

no, I like to show it so as not to give information to the villain

If the opponent is gambling, painfully enduring a loss, then in this way you can make him chase you in the future, answer and pay for strong combinations.

if it's a very unusual situation, maybe. but in general, no free information.

I bluff very rarely and almost never show my cards. I do not see any point in providing additional information to my opponents.

Of course no.

I dont show my hands, only in very special sitautions, you are making easy your read at the game.

If you have a mixed strategy, maybe can be helpful, but take care with that option.

Regardless of whether I bluff or not, I never show my cards because I would give my opponent valuable information and how less he knows about me how better. If I am bluffing and you want to see my cards then you have to pay for it, but of course if I should be bluffing then it suits me very well if they fold. But I rarely bluff, actually almost not at all

Even if I’m bluffing, I’ll never show my cards, if someone wants to make sure it’s bluffing or not, let them pay.

if you show your cards by bluffing then they can easily catch you on a new bluff

Absolutely not -- Rule #1 never give your opponents any information that you don't need to reveal . . .

No man. You cant teach your magics

No offcourse not,muck hands

Depends on the game. In a random, casino game I definitely do not. With my buddies - show just a few to change up my image.

Well ... that I remember only a couple of times I have shown the cards after a "bluff" ... but normally I do not show them and I do not take into account the players who do so ... what opponents do as a strategy ... so I focus more on my game ...

I rarely show my cards. I will rarely show a bluff if players in the table are extra tight and I want to loosen them up I'll bluff and show it but after that I switch my playing style and I play tight and wont bluff any more. But they will be more curious and give me more action.

There are people who don't show their cards in order to make players curious and there are players who show when it's a bluff and when there's a nut to force the opponent to think about calling to see if it's a bluff or not... but in my case I think it's better not show the cards to make them curious to pay.

I usually not show the cards, because the opponent will start to play more rough with me. But if the another player and I have a bad history, I like the idea to tilt him.

I think that during the game, when you raise and the opponent falls, you should not show him your cards.If you show it once,he can understand your basic tactics.)

Today I played in three tournaments.There were only setups everywhere.When I see this, it happens, it's not ice.

sometimes i do . especially if it is a really good bluff

I never show my cards. I think it is part of the Bluiff strategy not to teach the game, so you leave the possibilities open. Was he bluffing or not? Is he a frequent player or not? It is better than to show it from time to time, it seems a better strategy to never show the cards. Regards.

I never ever show my cards besides you can't on ACR, why show to help all the others at the table

I never show my cards as a bluff or when I have a hand. If you want to see my cards you need to pay for the pleasure.

This being said I will show a royal flush if I had it. That is so rare its worth showing.

I never show.This is because I think it is important not to pass information to the opponent in a perfect information game.

I'm usually not showing (why give more "free" information away?), but there are meta-game situations where it could be argued to show. The obvious psychology application is about table image, but interpreting shown cards could be a deep discussion in itself.

You can show your opponents your card: show that you are bluffing or, conversely, make a bet with the nuts, fold the second nuts or outright garbage ... From time to time you want to brag about one or another collected combination in front of your opponents, but is it worth it do?

Once again, by showing your cards, you will give your opponent more information about their playing strategy, which they try to hide in every possible way in poker.

You cannot be sure that a particular player is playing a hand just to find out the specifics of your game. Perhaps he did not receive any intelligible information, and then you opened and demonstrated everything to him for free.


However, there are times when showing cards can be justified.

First, you can give opponents false information about your behavior by showing a winning hand if you played it in an unusual way.

Secondly, the demonstration of cards in order to disrupt the psychological balance of the opponent. The most typical case of this is bluffing. If the opponent is gambling, suffering a loss painfully, then in this way you can make him chase you in the future, answer and pay for strong combinations.

However, a strong opponent understands that players are bluffing from time to time, so your bluff is unlikely to make a strong impression on him.

Only if I want to put the opponent on tilt

Otherwise I prefer not to show, which builds up some tilt in the opponent too, because most humans... they hate uncertainty... they hate not knowing if someone else got the better of them

And by keeping those cards face down, you plant a whole lot of doubt in their mind

Only if I'm messing with someone specifically, but usually I don't

I never show my cards, everything that is shown serves the opponent to be able to decipher your way of playing, if I bet, whoever wants to see that he pays.

Sometimes i show and sometimes no depends on what the situation to get the player tilted

In the pasts I did show my cards, but know I don't show my cards, no more free information.

It is good to show the cards depending on the tactic you use against your opponents

Sometimes i do show the cards when i don't get paid especially when i bluffed
This can always throw opponent off track and it's hard for them to know when i bluff or not

no reason to give people free informations. There are also other players on a table which won't tilt and they can notice your plays. So I never show my cards.
