When you bluff, are you showing the cards later if you don't get paid?

[Claudiunm]

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

I never show my cards! I never bluff.

But maybe I'm bluffing now. lol

 

[theStarfish]

I usually never show my cards if I don´t have to, so I never show bluffs or any hand at all.

 

[zipocool]

try to show your cards to your opponent less when bluffing, thereby you only give him additional information and later it can work against you

 

[Chase]

I rarely show my cards and never after a bluff. If it's a serious game I keep every hand to myself. If it's a fun game I'll show some hands.

 

[speper]

He never sees my cards

 

[ROYALROAD]

I think it's better not to show it.
It depends on the time and the case.

 

[VenomX1]

Show or not to show?

Most don't show unless it was a big hand and got tense. Watch out for players who show with higher rankings or ratings. Can be used as a bluffing tactics.

 

[bilva1984]

hi

Depends, if I'm angry at the player I'm lying to, I'd just show it to them out of disgust.

 

[Pawlowski]

Never show my cards in this case.

 

[MrrrRock]

Why not show, in some specific situation, to tilt your opponent? Sometimes it can work for you I think. Maybe its on the limit of gentleman's game, but you are not playing for them after all...

 

[amartimes]

It depends on the game, if you are playing live poker with your friends you can do it for fun or for tilting But for online tournaments if you think you have some value to show it then it is up to you!

 

[manzanillo53]

I have been told it is good strategy to show a bluff once in a while. But I have yet to do it, but it is on the back of my mind. One day

 

[SopianaeExtra]

No, never. The magic of a bluff is to always keep your rival in suspense.

 

[jleon_zat]

I never show, but if there is a person who plays very aggressive maybe I could

 

[MMaki1981]

I almost never show my cards no matter what the situation. I like to keep people guessing about what I have. It makes me less predictable. Same applies to my bets even with the best hand.

The odd time I will show my hand if I am familiar with the other player and know it was a hard fold for them, but very very very very seldom does that happen

 

[marcusvco]

I dont like to show cards ever, i prefer to let them think what i could have and make it harder to read me in the next hands.

 

[rastapapolos]

It depends..​Some​ ​spots when you think that villain may go on tilt.. Yeah of​ course Will​ show him. For balancing also, giving the table some info and trying to play nuts hands as your bluffs could work like a charm. But generally speaking if it's Just for vanity, to show that we are smarter..​ No i'm​not​ showing.

 

[hobojim1247]

Very seldom if ever and if I do there is a specific ulterior motive aimed at a particular situation or player at that table.

[efranto2286]

I never show my cards... that's giving information to rivals... so it's showing weakness

 

[gaarsiass]

I never show my cards, whether it's a bluff or not. In my opinion, it is unnecessary and gives information to the opponent

 

[hilary antonik filho]

I never showed my cards when I bluff, I find it offensive, it's my opinion

 

[YYfourU]

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

That doesn’t make sense...if u don’t get paid????? Wtf?? U are bluffing, the only way u are getting paid is if they fold. So how do u get paid if they call ur bluff or raise you? Where is getting paid?

 

[ejsch]

show after bluff

I did that one time and it cost me a few hands later when I had a hand was called by a bigger stack who out drew me.

 

[psycodelic1]

I l9ve sjowing my bluffs specially 92o

 

[melbru88888]
