Showin' cards

showing cards has some advantages, you let other knosw that you are not playin any cards, so they ll respect your next raise, and that will give you oportunity to bluff more, some people say that you should never show your cards no matter what! but I think it is maybe good idea in some tourneys, but not in ring games, I am doin it there!

i dont like showin cards unless you have a good reason to get under their skin or that will help you win or else itsn ot good strat.

I used to be a flasher but it does NOT really give you any advantages to show your winning hands if u show anything I say if u r playing a very solide game for the most part and u want some action when u bluff and win then show the bluff but if u do this it may give players the idea u play loosely so make sure next time u make a move have the nuts

i tend to show cards depending on the situation. I show cards sometimes to show my table image as a clean cut play what I get player so later in I can make a bluff. I show sometimes depending on whether or not I think I can get them on tilt or not. So thats just what I do

I have never shown my cards whether I win or lose. Is this the way most people play? I haven't been playing poker very long and I was just told when I started that the best way is not to show your cards.

basically yea iit worked for him that time, but pocket kings don't come around often and hes lucky he got that hand right after bluffing with rags. it's always best not to show, unless ur consistently stealing blinds or something and feel like showing a winning hand here or there.

I wish there was the capability of only showing one card. Sometimes ill show cards if Im raising a lot of pots to make people believe I have stuff so they wont come back at me with weak hands.

I SHOW MY CARDS OFTEN......THIS IS A WAY FOR MY FELLOW PLAYERS TO KNOW THAT I KNOW HOW RO PLAY MY HANDS....IF U HIDE URE CARDS THEY THINK URE JUST A BLUFFER

I love to show hand when I am bluffin then the opponents will allways think that I am bluffin`

It really depends on what group of players your playing against.  This strategy may work against weaker players, some of them may think hey that guys a bluffer, stronger players are not going to buy it period.  They will respect you the same every hand.

on poker.com u have the option to show only one card.

I sometiems show. if people see winning hands they are more likely to believe u when u bluff

The only times I show are when I have a monster. Quads or better. I will also so a few hands if it looks like I'm stealing the blinds, I don't need the person thinking I stealing all the time and playing back at me. So many ppl take the stealing of blinds to extremes and try to steal it everytime. You have to defend then, just call with huge hands and reraise with lesser hands

I personally don't like and I don't show my cards unless a friend asks me and I think it would not affect his play. I try to defend my game from this influence and I don't come to conclusions when players show their cards unncessarily. However, you should write notes for the rest of the hands.
