re: Poker & Show vs Muck
I've played enough at my local casino for most people to know roughly how I play - I'm quite tight but also extremely aggressive with a lot of bluffs. I'll show almost all of my bluffs if they're called in an interesting way - if somebody just plays standard and makes bluffing unprofitable then I won't show, but if they do something strange then I will. Conversely, I'm also quite tight in response to a lot of aggression, meaning I'll fold some decent hands if I get a bad feeling. If I'm the last to act here, I'll usually show my cards - however I don't recommend doing this for most players, because they usually can't pull of the insane amount of bluffs I make: I get paid off in poker because I'm just as likely to play (and fold) aces as I am 73o and people know it. I'll also do the usual, where if I'm dealt a good hand in the BB but it gets folded round to me then I'll show for a little bit of sympathy.
