Do you usually show the cards before putting them back in the deck? Sometimes it can be a good strategy to brand rivals ... Leave your comment here with the reasons why you do it (or not)

Yes I do and I am wondering if I should stop It's just a bad habit I learned on PokerStars But I rarely play cash games
 
Showing hands

Normally I don’t show hands because it gives other players insight on how you play but every once in a while I’ll show a bluff so players know I don’t always play big cards and I’m not afraid to bluff. Otherwise player just keep betting knowing you will fold if you have nothing
 
No, I don’t show my cards…..not online, not live. I don’t think it brings me an advantage for future hands if I show a bluff or the nuts….for me it is more an advantage if the opponent gets more and more curious or annoyed and makes a call just to get information…..😉

I never show my cards playing online.

I will rarely show cards playing live. Usually the bluff only.

Don't like giving away free info.
 
Almost never show my cards. Occasionally I will show a mid pair or suited connectors just to let the other player know my range is wide.
 
Mostly I don't show the cards I have, but lately I've started doing it. Mostly to show that I don't bluff, which I rarely do.
 
I could not tell you the last time I showed my cards without a showdown, it's been that long.
 
I show them strategically. I like to show the nuts, show the nuts, show the nuts, then use the same bet sizing when I am bluffing because it will generate folds. But, sometimes, I like to do the opposite and show bluffs and then use the same bet sizing with the nuts. It is fun to mix things up.

I only show 1 card occasionally when I'm high stack to make sure the others know I might bluff or actually have the best hand. I feel this puts the pressure on the lower stacks. 🙄
 
No. That is a secret. This is war. Some people think it is a game. A secret is only a secret when you are the only person to know it. If you are giving away secrets then you are exposing yourself.
 
It depends

I show when I want to mess with the other player's emotions. Just as a strategy at specific times.😀
 
i do not show my cards but when showing them will trigger or i'm gonna take advantige of it , yes i do show them if it was a good bluff to piss people oofff
 
Oh yea, every now and then I might be nice and show my cards if I got an amazing hand or if i bluffed someone good. I usually do it a certain way to just to make people think I'm bluffing and call too. Good luck 🍺.
 
Sometimes I do it, but I don't do it to make fun of the opponent by showing my deception cards but I only show them when I have a hand that is too strong and I show them to him so that he can see that he is saved and be more careful with me that I don't deceive him much although in reality he I show the whole table and leave that message as a player who is going to play it safe and thus have a greater lying range.
 
In most cases, no. Only if I want to play very aggressively and tactfully.
 
if I play from a computer, sometimes I show cards. For some reason, there is no such possibility to show maps from the phone. i have an android
