StupidKid 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I prefer to not show, as tempting as it may be because I don't like to give away free info.If I managed to bluff a pretty big sized pot I don't mind showing it in the hope that it totally tilts the guy I just bluffed...

finztotheleft 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I never show, unless it's a straight or royal flush that wasn't called down. It's just fun to show off those. Link to post Share on other sites

socalpoker_j 1 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 As in any poker situation, "it depends". But I most always leans towards never showing. Link to post Share on other sites
PiercE^Bodog 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 i always show bluffs during the first 30 min of gameplay or so.. it pays off well. Link to post Share on other sites
Socrates 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Depends on the situation. There are some people I play with live that absolutely self destruct if you show them a bluff. Link to post Share on other sites
TheCinciKid 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 In general, it's almost always a bad idea to show your cards. I can see doing it to tilt somebody, but I have to admit that I'm not that good at taking advantage of players who are on tilt, so that wouldn't do me much good. Really, the only time I'll ever show my cards is if I'm trying to establish a tight image in a tourney. Especially if I've been raising alot lately, if I pick up a big hand and raise with it, I'll often show to establish a good tight image. Link to post Share on other sites

run_goot 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Depends on the situation. There are some people I play with live that absolutely self destruct if you show them a bluff.Same. I play a home game and there are two guys who implode if they get bluffed. Online, I don't bother showing. Ever. Link to post Share on other sites
No_Neck 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 depends if the player you bluffed is a thinking or a tilty player.I don't show good players, and I do show players that will tilt. Link to post Share on other sites
pezeveng 207 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 if you show a monster hand its good to show bluffs as well. I don't like doing it sometimes because it comes across as disrespectfull. Depends who your playing with and how much is at stake. Link to post Share on other sites
TylerSalzman 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Depends on the situation. There are some people I play with live that absolutely self destruct if you show them a bluff.Very true.. I bluffed a guy out of a big pot one time with 72os (it was my intention to bluff before the hand even started) and then showed, and he absolutely freaked out. The very next hand he pushed all his chips in with nothing and lost. Link to post Share on other sites
DaBruins 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Depends of course. I'll show sometimes if the table is playing really nitty and needs to get loosened up. My last big bluff i showed was in a nice $900 pot where i made a big bet on the river and showed 8 high. The guy got pretty furious after that, even his girlfriend behind him got mad at me, haha.

eYank 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 The main positive to showing (@ least @ low stakes) is that players will think your bliffing more often and pay u off when your notAt higher stakes I dont think its as easy Link to post Share on other sites

In my home game where the stakes are pretty small and the quality of play is nothing special, if possible i like to bluff a bit early on and show, and usually i get paid off in some spots where i wouldn't have otherwise.

CBass1724 1 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I like bluffing very early on in a session and will only show bluffs to people I do not like very much. The good part about that is that they try to bluff back at me when I have the goods.I love sometimes showing bluffs to people when they show me what a tough laydown they made. Those guys will pay me off later too and will make terrible calls with 2nd pair hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites

Startled 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'm impuslive about it. Sometimes the urge is indulged. Usually, not. I'd rather fold preflop and then groan loudly about how I'm ahead, and would have won the pot. "Ship it", I'll say. sw Link to post Share on other sites
