Hi everyone.

Do you usually show the cards before returning them to the deck? I have read that sometimes it can be a good strategy to put rivals on tilt ...

Leave your comment here with the reasons why you do it (or not).

I do not usually do it because for me it is free information for others ....

Also, regarding the first sentence, it seems disrespectful to others, but hey, don't forget that you are reading a rookie's opinion.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Best regards from Buenos Aires.
Much of the personal strategy goes. I personally prefer not to show most of the time, except for very special cases.

On occasion, but not often whatsoever. Maybe if I'm particularly proud of a bluff I get through I'll show one card, or maybe even both depending on the villain I'm facing (if I'm tilted at the player from something they said in chat or a previous play I'm more likely to show both :) )

I dont really like to do it, but if somebody is really getting out of line I like to show them that I am capable of 3 betting them with air.

Now I have started to show less of my cards, because when you show your hands after the pendulum you can read

If I play online I never show my cards, but if I play live when I make a big bluff I show my cards to make my opponents GO on tilt 😂

Never show my cards, especially online. I don't see the purpose in it. Unless you're trying to emotionally trigger your opponents. I still think there are better ways to do it than showing.

I suppose if I were playing against friends and trying to help them learn, I may show my cards. I think this may be the only scenario where I would do it though.

Good question. Online I do not ever show my cards. Online players already have to much information withy hand histories, notes and huds. When i play live cash games I will show a bluff to gain latter action every once in a while. also if there is a fun player in the game with deep pockets and he makes a big fold on me I will show him that he was beat to keep it friendly and light.

I'm just a beginner, so please don't be mad about my question:

You guys are only talking about real games? Because on Pokerstars or 888 i didn't see any option to show my cards. I'm just curious

Yes, and I love to do it... Online not so much, mainly on Final Tables or something when ppl are paying attention to the game... :D

I always think in a plan before showing my cards... I do ask some questions

1- What is my opponent going to think of my style of playing now on

2- What do I want to represent by showing my cards

3- Is it really necessary?


When I got my answers I show my cards, this questions is something that goes on my mind in 5 seconds while the hand is still going

It depends, playing online I prefer to hide all hands, not to provide information. Live, depending on who you are playing with, if you know your opponent well can be used both to confuse him and in the form of respect.

I don't show my hand unless I want them to make think I'm playing with nothing all the time that's when people want to call you. Or want to make you mad I've done that many time then want to throw all there chips at yea I definitely do that but usually I just muck my cards depends on what kind of mood I'm in
