Basically Show if You Got Em

I think a minor rule is to show them if you got them. Let them know that when you bet, you mean it.

I'm glad for the default "auto Muck" feature every room I play in has.
Those that don't have it set on "auto muck" not only give out free intel , they slow down the game !

I've never showed my hands regardless if it's a bluff or value and I think it's a mistake giving away free information

It depends on why. May affect your game. If you troll then ok

And if you show a bluff, then why? Boast of? Mislead?
It depends on what goal

Show

In order for the opponent to be unequal after your bluff, it is better to show him the cards:D:D:D

I never show my cards, I do not want to give information to other players about myself.

I prefer not to show it at all, so as not to give too much information.

I agree not to show the cards, making it difficult to read a complex game, although sometimes one of them must be shown to reflect what we have become and hope to mislead.:D

Never like to show both cards. Depending on situation, i may show other if i know i get opponen to tilt. Always easier to play against heated player :fight:

I almost never show my cards. I think if someone wants to see my punishment, they have to pay.

Never show. Like they say,knowledge is information, don't give any information. It just gives then more ammo against you. If you show a bluff hand it just makes them want to nail you.

Very few times I show my cards ...... If I do, it is to confuse the opponent. Good hands

I do not like to show the cards, you have to respect your opponent and showing the times in bluff, you can feel better than them, whoever wants to see your cards to pay the bets.

Depends on the intent, if it’s to spite your opponent or brag etc than def not, but if it’s strategic in terms of setting up a specific opponent when maybe your play has become too predictable or they are playing to tight etc. Just to stir things up a bit, It has a time and place I think.

I am torn on this one. On the one hand, I want to protect my strategy and have people pay to figure it out. On the other hand, if I show for free sometimes then change my strategy, it could be an advantage to me. I do not typically show, but I am all for using all the tools in the toolbox, so I mix it i there form time to time when timing is good and I need another tool.

The truth in my games has not yet mastered the lie, as a weapon to show the cards, according to what I read in some forums that can be used in a productive way for the winnings because when you lie often sooner or later they will catch you, but if you use that to your advantage you could earn a good sum
