Depends on the situation. Generally, this is very poor poker etiquette, but every now and then someone needs to see it. The type of game matters. However, if you want to put a direct target on your forehead, me, I just don't think it is worth the information.

I never show bluffs or any other hand.

I only show when the rules dictate I must. I may make a verbal comment about how bad it was but never nothing specific. I try to operate in the shadows and try NOT to be the center of attention!! I don’t want to give out any information on how/what I might be playing!!! Information is the key!! And when my opponents see me at their table I just want them to have as little information about me and how I play. I want to be a blank slate to them…literally!!

I don’t like bluffing at all but if some players shows their bluff the other players start to hate the bluffer I think

If you play aggressively then you can be paid for a strong hand in the future. And if it's tight, then it's better not to show

Only when I'm deep and I double check my timing tells and make sure I don't give any sizing bets away yes i love to do it.

You can't do it early in a tournament but final 2 tables or FT absolutely.

Only occasionally

I think it's best to only occasionally show your stronger hands---best to let them think you always have it to be able to get your bluffs through more often. Plus, showing your bluffs just makes you look like an arse.

I never show my bluffs, but if someone shows me a bluff, it will probably be he’s end on the table, he would be my prime target, just because he showed how he play’s. Giving information on the table is suicidal move. It’s always better leave them guessing.

I prefer not to show bluffs, but I know that it is necessary to do so at higher limits to pay for further value.
