Show or Muck

jgdesabato · Mar 25, 2015

Muck or show? when a bluff works, but is not recommended.

nucl · Mar 26, 2015

I never show my hand.
I will make my opponent going crazy eatch time they fold.
And in a showdown i will almost have the best hand.And the time i'm going to bluff he will believe that i have it!

I never show my cards. I don't think it's clever to show them, because your opponents get more informations about you and are able to read you better.

rock0001 · Apr 27, 2015

Try to never show any cards unless your having a very loose image on the table. You can show a good hand to make players believe that you werent bluffing in any previous hand even if you did. You might also show a strong mucking hand against a player who you think has a better hand than yours. If you are able to fold a good hand you will get more respect from the other players specially if you find out you have made the right fold.

Showing is only applicable when building an image or setting up a play later in a session to induce action or fold equity if your bets are not getting respected

It's very rare I show my cards. It's just too much information given away.

Serkish · Apr 29, 2015

I hardly show, I'll always muck unless I have nuts then I'll show. I like to have my opponents think I play straight up so when I do go for the bluff, they think I have the winning hand. If I get caught in a bluff then I tighten up. But I would say always muck.

It's always differently. As like Daniel Negreanu (If I don't wrong): I essentially just need to be more creative/aggressive in bluffing situations and that makes the game kind of fun.

I never show in an open tourney or cash game
Home game or forum game i might do for a bit of banter

some times to fk the sht of loosers i show my succeed bluf hands

FromHereOn · May 10, 2015

I'll show if it has no bearing on my future play. One example is if a table folds down to me on the BB preflop, and I have 2 4 off, it's a goof but I'll show.

Also, most hand histories will display a beaten muck on showdown, so if it helps establish a TAG narrative, it isn't necessarily a bad move to show a busted strong top two pair against a set, the 2nd nuts, or a bad river beat.

I'll quick-muck 99% of hands, but I always want the option.

I never show

Greg0201 · May 12, 2015

I never show ... but if im on a table with the same people some times i will show so they think they know how i play then i change it up lol

motorcity1957 · May 12, 2015

no show, i never do. I also ignore cards other players who show,

limpnfold88 · May 12, 2015

never show your hand unless you have to. or if you know it's gonna put someone on monkey tilt to show a bluff. but then that means you have to stop bluffing lol

dead homie · May 12, 2015

auto muck, i wouldnt care if they could see em though

Ray Sliva · May 12, 2015

I'm gonna stop showing cards; bluff or not. Still learning and being weak, I may be giving up to much information. Hopefully this will help me until I learn how to use such a tool.

That's a ridiculous statement, are you trolling?

I do not understand. What is trolling?

Fussy · May 13, 2015

Most of the time I dont know, but I will show some times when I keep getting good hands, because otherwise they'd be thinking I am just stealing their blinds, and can make them call me more when I have less stronger hands, if I show I am not bluffing every hand and that I actually have a good holding will gain more respect and have them fold more, and some times it gives you room to bluff if you have shown only good cards

Yep!

titomurcia1214 · May 13, 2015

Do not show your hand is recommended by the most depends on what your game plan, but one when in a table playing sometimes feels and shows

c1g · May 13, 2015

i personally never show online, i always have the auto muck button on.
was thinking about turning it off, to show the occasional strong hand.
live i have shown some strong hands before, but still seldom.

rushdaman · May 13, 2015

I will never show my cards on any occasion because it shows at least a set of cards you like to play. I believe that my opponents can only gain information about me if i show my hand/cards and information about myself is noooooo good imho. So always MUCK!

timfbmx · May 14, 2015

I will show every blue moon for various reasons. Put someone on tilt, be a nice guy to show that they made a good play, for the lols, ect... But for the most part I don't show at all 95% of the time.
