Ive only showed my hands a few times. Where they have overbet the pot. Ive had top pair. But they need one card for a straight. Its a case of respecting what they are holding.

Almost never.

There are a few situations I might, like tilting a player, or trying to encourage a specific table image, but not usually.

I see no reason to show the cards, if you bluff and did not open the cards there is a chance to bluff again, otherwise they will start counting you

Hello, not in any way, I would give information to my rivals, I also play aggressive so I win hands with inferior cards to show them would be stupid :D...

Yes I show my cards sometimes, I show both bluffs and strong hands, I think it plays with the heads of my opponents. If I show a bluff at a table I tend to keep that in mind when I have a strong hand in order to try and get a call. I think showing cards and knowing when to do it and how to use showing cards is also part of the skills of the game. I also think that poker sites that do not give you the option to show your cards, or at times showed the showdown for a split second, have programmers that understand poker.

Never. That's the basic of strategy. Find out enemies's information but yours. But sometimes I show my cards on purpose. That's also in my strategy. To show that I'm not a bluffer, or I'm a bluffer. That's different from every situation. Or stimulate or scarce my enemies. But most of the game. I don't show mine.

No. If you show your cards, u give advantace to your opponents.

BUT, somethimes, showing cards is a good strategy, to make your opponents think you are a player "a" when you are "b", and you take advantage of it.

Usually don't. If I have some strategy, I may show, but it's difficult to know when to do it. Among friens, in a home game, when I beautifully bluff a hand, of course I show, just to laugh. I a serious game, however, I don't show. I used to show when the hand isn't my strategy.

Usually I don"t show them, because I don't want to show my conditions or my strategy and generally informations!

Very rarely will I show my hole cards. If it will buy me a hand later, sure why not. In saying that, have called a small raise to see my opponents hole cards. Information to me is valuable, if someone wants it, they can pay for it.

I usually show my cards after a successful bluff, it makes my opponents nervous and they start making mistakes.

I usually show it only if I fold a strong combination out. If I win, then on rare occasions I can show

Just very rarely. If I win 5-7 pots in the row without opening cards I can show the cards once just to demonstrate I am not bluffing. But usually I do not like to show the cards because it is giving a chance for opponents to see your range and put some notes on you.

I don’t like to. Yes, you can affect the way people at your table are playing, but, it also gives your opponents information on how you are playing certain cards. Let them figure it out the hard way.
