At a real poker table, I will sometimes show my cards if it helps my table image.  But usually only if I think I have the best hand at a show down.  I do have one interesting anecdote though:  
I flopped a open ended straight draw, bet all three streets and didn't catch, had one guy calling me down the whole way.  After he called my river bet, I flipped up my cards and said "busted straight draw"  All he heard was 'straight' and mucked his cards before he really looked at the my cards.  I took the pot because he mucked... he was pissed. the whole table was surprised as hell.  I've always thought about using that as a tactic in the future... Just calling a board that I didn't have to see if my opponent would muck, but I've never had the balls to do it.  I would need persuasion 100. :cool:
Online I never show my cards, for two reasons.  One, it slows down the game if you have the option enabled.  And two, nobody really takes notice of your table image online - at least not at the stakes I play.
