Show Your Cards or Muck?

[don1980]

I only show my cards when I think my opponent deserves to see. Sometimes I show my cards so they'll know I bluffed just to rub it in their face.

I never show my cards. Never tell your information is important. If someone know your range, your type, they can dominate you easily

 

[charlie2013]

i always muck, i only show my cards when I cant go ahead in the hand
with a top pair, or AA but the kicker is low..but all the time the vilain
is bluffing...

 

[tonydosreis]

Every time i muck my cards, because if i shown i give for my opponent free information about my style of game

 

[rodrigo1972]

Always muck!!

 

[cazual88]

I always muck but if I am on BB or SB with monster hand I can show cards if all players folded

 

[Thenightrain]

Online never. Live only if I’m using it to set a trap for a later hand, normally in a cash game. I find you move tables a lot in online MTTs so why give any information if there’s no +EV reason to do so.

 

[Forbesy604]

Never show like some people have said here

 

[vitalii029]

I act differently sometimes show sometimes not the maneuver I'm trying to confuse the player so he had little information about my tactics in the game

I show my bluffs so my opponents know I might be bluffing and are more likely to call. Those who do not bluff are fish. But if i played the hand a certain way like check raise semi bluffing I do not want my opponents to see that I play that way. Showing bluffs is god,showing cards to brag is bad.

I'll show my strong cards if everyone folds on a raise... for a while. Makes it easier to bluff in position with weaker cards.

 

[kena3000]

I used to do it when i had a monster hand and no one calls. But since i read a lot about it, i don´t do it anymore. I didn´t know that instead ob being a trap for villans was a trap for me. I was giving information for free to my opponents.

Sorry for my English

 

[makisaa]

I show them, I do not have problem with this, except if I do not have the time for this.

 

[zzOGzz]

I usually don't show because I don't want to give my opponents free information about my hand.

 

[agriggy]

Muck, keep the others guessing, If you show just good ones, they will think the muck is a bluff. I would only show to someone I have bluffed that I don't like or who gets upset easily like Phil Hellmuth. It can put them on tilt.

 

[ELPRIIINCIPE]

I think that the cards should never be shown, particularly I almost never show them in 100 hands I could say that I will show my cards only once.
You should not give information when you rivar about your game.

 

[oldolm]

i am never showing hands, maybe sometimes i am showing a bluff to fishy players, it can tilt them a lot its very good strategy jusst try it :

 

[imdabest101]

I've never shown my cards once. I believe it is important to stay elusive.

 

[maxmaximov96]

never , do not give information about yourself

 

[bmw1983kaz]

Just muck, no need to show my cards.

 

[Dim4ik555]

I never show cards, why give extra information?

 

[Trick1988]

I also very rarely show as I dont want to give information but sometimes with people I've found friendly etc and it feels like the sort of hand that wont give too much away with a show I sometimes do

 

[Syltan]

I always prefer not to show my cards. Why simplify the game oponentam. In a given time, poker is a game of statistics.

 

[Anatoliy73]

I prefer not to show their cards if possible, though often at the big game strong-arm show.

 

[amitmanchanda]

Depends on what time of tournament, what is your image and are players on tilt because of your all in's or betting?

If you are frequently going all in during late stages or tournament especially pre flop, it is better to show few monsters.
