When someone asks 'will you show if I fold?', what is the funniest fake promise you can make to ensure they fold their cards and never speak to you again?🤔

I usually prefer not to show when I fold. Keeping opponents guessing is part of the game, and even showing a bluff can give away information about how I think. The only time I might show is in a friendly home game for fun or if there's a specific psychological reason to do it against a particular opponent. In the long run, I think giving away less information is usually the better strategy.

I never show my hands except in rare occasions when I want to drive an emotional player into complete tilt, then I will show a bluff

I always laugh and say I never show. I think it’s funny how people still try this.

You can choose to reveal just one card, or you can ignore that option and reveal it later in a situation that suits you. Psychology and mindset play a major role here, too: you might want to sell a bluff to your opponent so that, next time, they won't believe you and will end up calling when you actually hold the nuts.

Just say ' I will show you my winner ', and then show them a busted hand if they do fold . It wouldn't be a lie , since you did win the pot .
