Show Your Cards to Other Players or Keep Them a Secret?

9peso · Nov 21, 2016

Always KEEP SECRET, because if you show somebody your cards, he will know what kind of player you are and with which cards you plays the most.
SHOWING is forbidden.

If bluffing - do not show. If there is no - shows.

There are times when your investment in the bank does not bring any monetary compensation or useful information about the strength of the enemy's hands. This happens when an opponent bets, and you discard cards to pass.

Before you give the dealer card, the opponent will have to decide whether to show the card to other players or to keep them secret?

It turns out that before the only remaining participant in the hand with a dilemma: "To expose whether to show the winning hand, if in fact there is no need"

I don't show unless its a really good hand I wanna show. only show if they fold to the river tho. I believe in keeping them guessing til then. I never show one pair or 2 pair 3 of a kind unless they make me but high flushs Q+ the nut straight not when I have one car that makes it. I believe no matter what that keeps them scared when they only see you with the best. Hope this helps!!!

I almost never show my cards. There are times it can work to my advantage. If im at a table where I know there is someone who is a lower skilled player who easily goes on tilt I may show a bluff so they will call me later on when I have it.

I rarely show only if convinced that a strong hand

Live I never show any cards. However, online play when I'm hitting consecutive big hands and have been playing rather aggressive throughout a tournament there come's a time where showing those KK or that set you hit on the flop isn't all that bad of a play. Simply to keep people honest and to not just get involved in hands with you just cause it seems you are bullying the group with your chip stack. Just the opposite as well. Cards falling your way and not enough people playing into you showing that you had nothing can go a long way as well it really is just preference. Live I don't know why I just never feel the need to do so. People play alot more loose online where there's no chance they will be embarassed when those cards turn over.

Never seen someone showed their cards.I'm with the majority,never show your cards.Many times it was that I played to the end with a weak hand to see the hand of the enemy.Sometimes won.

Not show cards nothing. Showing give information for opponents, it's not good

acemenow · Dec 18, 2016

It depends on the game. There are times it can be used to advantage, but every advantage comes with some risk, in this case if you give your opponent too much info it could be its used against you later. But just as easily it can be used to put him on tilt. Strictly a judgement call. But no need to feel obligated to show because someone else is showing either. Play your game not someone else's.

Show them only if it was a bluff so they will think im always bluffing,and when i have a good hand i will get called maybe.

Fernanda37 · Dec 18, 2016

keep them in secret! The less information, the better

glenn6971 · Dec 18, 2016

I try to never show. Keep em guessing.

neontuning · Dec 18, 2016

Sometimes, some hands are best kept secret. When I am in a few chips and is in hand to hand, I usually show my hand.

Shakes · Dec 18, 2016

I very rarely show any cards myself. Let them figure it out

skaterick · Dec 18, 2016

I will show a bluff on occasion . As the saying goes , it's good for the game !

kucu2014 · Dec 18, 2016

It does not ever show your card

heix24 · Dec 18, 2016

I show sometimes, accidentally

Pokerguy6666 · Dec 18, 2016

I am with the majority, I never show my cards. Btw we should setup a poll for this question, I would be curious to know what percentage of people show cards.

Svyat66556 · Dec 18, 2016

I show card but a very much rare case

Gabriel Pinho · Dec 18, 2016

I prefer dont show the cards, sometimes in cardschat tourneys I show the cards

nenkov407 · Dec 18, 2016

It depends. I mean when I have successfully bluffed somebody with 72o going all-in on nothing and he folds, I show him what I had. He than loses his mind and believes I am a complete donk. From that moment I switch tactic and once I hit the nut on the flop I go all-in. He now doesn't believe me and will call me with even a high card. So I take everything.

i never show my cards, and neither should You. If You start shwoing Your cards Your opponents will know what kind of a player You are. It's better not to help them with that. Sometimes You may show Your cards after You bluffed, it will make them angry and probably they will make more mistakes in short time.
