There are plenty of poker sites that allow to show the cards, but I don't like it and so I don't show them

don't show, but if you want to tilt somebody, you can show when bluffing - as sample

No show

Generally, in the tournaments that I play, I never show my cards, I only show them when I go with all the chips because according to the tournament I usually vary the ways of playing my cards :D

Sometimes you can take advantage of showing the card. I show some hands, but not others.

It's all about ego especially after a successful bluff. Just don't show

Earlier I sometimes showed my cards but nowadays: Never! I often see that some people shows his bluff after river, but I guess it's just about the ego.

When I play to relax at ease, I often show my cards. When I play seriously for certain stakes, I never show my cards. Why help my opponents in the game?

I have also noticed people showing just 1 of the 2 card??

You could interpret that card to be anything!!

Showing cards is also an strategie...You are providing random information according the type of opponents-game.
I think that could give yuo some control at the table. You can shows yourself as a fish to provoque agression or seems to be a rock to make they think twice before calling...

Show it if you have a plan to use it. Don't show it if you a newbie and thinking that everyone will think of you as the "nice person"

I don't show my hands. Poker is a game of incomplete information. I don't have to provide information about my game to opponents.​

Poker

I don’t understand why this function was implemented in online poker? What's the point of inviting players to show their hand ?!

I never show nor comment. Good players that do, have an angle. But I do not operate like that at the poker table.

I agree. They often want to show that they managed to bluff you and consider themselves good players.

Don't do anything in poker which gives away information. Hence never show your cards.

I never show them in most of the sites I have activated the option of not showing, it does not make much sense to show the hand and when they do it normally it is to show something weak or a bluff but still I do not find benefit, perhaps when showing something weak or a bluff the rival wants revenge maybe:jd4::jd4::jd4::jd4:
