Do you usually show your cards ?

fantata666 · Apr 1, 2020

i never show myself the hands i play if anyone wants to see my cards i have to pay because i'm aggressive if i play in the pot that is mine

tatalarata · Apr 1, 2020

The only reason I would show my hand is:
I have a too-loose image, and I want to scare people, Ill show a nutty hand.
I have a too-tight image, and I want to show I can bluff, Ill show a bluff.

In reality, I almost never show.

I show the bluff when i play with the same persons for a while, same times that prepare for a good call when i have the nut

Hello, I am not to show the cards ever. I think it is best not to give any information to our rivals, whether we are telling the truth or bluffing. The less the rival knows about us, it will help us to have a better game and greater chances of winning.

auto muck and on we go !!!!

Hi There
I never show my cards
Even if some opponent show theirs
Poker is information on players so why should i give it for free?
Never

Hi there

if I win the hand and for example I had nothing in my hand, I will show the cards. in the next cut rival will think that I am bluffing but I will be ready for this

JoeKampman · Apr 1, 2020

I always muck my hand. I would just rather they have no idea what I am playing. I understand that showing someone they have been bluffed can tilt them, but I think they can get equally tilted if you never show them anything. Make them pay to see.

As a general rule I don't show my cards, I only do it in special situations. For example, when I am in the bubble very close to getting paid and if I am short of chips, I decide to throw a high pair or a monster hand I show it. I only do it to show that I left with a high hand ... I never show my cards when my hand is bad, in no situation.

I usually show them sometimes at the bubble or when heads up.

Tony's The Elements of Poker Book says showing is usually weak... like you need approval

I agree! What is the purpose really unless you are trying to get under someone’s skin and make them make bad decisions.

IM_FM · Apr 19, 2020

There are a few critical moments where I show my cards. I sometimes show strong hands when I am playing tight aggressive and I sometimes show bluffs to loose players to get under their skin and cause them to continue making mistakes.

stylebender72 · Apr 19, 2020

I dont understand why would anyone show his cards. Its so dumb giving so many information about how one is playing his ranges I think only very weak beginners do that think they are playing a mind game called this time I have it this time I dont so now I bluffed you now next time maybe I wont maybe I will but we both now that I bluffed now so now I know that you know that.. stupid daniel negreanu's shit vomiting what he thinks thinking that its right and thats the way to play this game and in reality ITS NOT poor guy thinking he s good at NLHM he stopped playing because he realised he's so weak. beginners...dont show your cards... or show them do whatever you want I dont care you can even die I wouldnt care less.

Baxter2424 · Apr 19, 2020

sarvari_ati · Apr 19, 2020

Maybe I am a beginner but I think there is some strategy to showing your cards. One of the many facets of poker includes mind games. Showing your cards can mislead your opponent to make certain decisions that they normally would not make if they did not have the information you showed them. This does not mean that it is a strategy that allows you to win every time but I think it can play to your benefit if played well.

zlajazlaja2 · Apr 19, 2020

I don't think it's good to show, but I like to show when it comes to bluffs, and a big pot in the game, and I win ... purely others think I bluff often, so when I'm very strong, I take them everything what they have, money or chips in torunament

Gaviria8 · Apr 19, 2020

When I'm stealing too much blinds to the same player, I like to show when I have something good and I stolen the blinds, but only it's when I steal 5 times in a row

wermutt · Apr 19, 2020

Show it or not? depends on the type and strategy of the game. If you know that your opponent goes into a tilt when looking at your cards, why not show them? However, of course, with regular players, no one will give extra information about themselves.

pykubepx111 · Apr 19, 2020

Hello everyone, I think that showing cards to rivals is to provide them with additional information about their game, so I do not advise doing this

donYaro · Apr 19, 2020

always muck my cards

salamaha · Apr 19, 2020

I don't show my cards

HungryLyan · Apr 19, 2020

It is very seldom that I will show my hand. The only time I may do it is to indicate that I was bluffing but most of the time I don't show my hand as I feel it gives out information to the opponents.

closer50 · Apr 19, 2020

Darwinjose14 · Apr 19, 2020
