Message: [QUOTE="Rational Madman, post: 3949325, member: 227817"] I muck 100% of the time as no matter whether your 'show' will shock the opponent or tilt them, you are only guaranteeing that they now can improve their read on you whereas when you fold you may not be tilting them as much but you guarantee they gained zero information about your actual bluff-range or fear-factor from that hand as they have no clue how strong your real hand was. This is also a reason I much prefer online poker to real-life poker, in real-life it's considered "rude" not to show in many situations and in many home games there's no set order of who has to show first. Even if the person who shows first has the better hand, again comes the issue of 'rudeness' and everyone on the table throwing a hissy fit if you refuse to show it so much so that they may kick you out for your bad manners (this is home games not casino I talk about).
