When do you \"show cards\" with no showdown?
 

If ever?

For me -- there's one time I'll show.... and that's if I've
been getting clobbered by the deck and won 4 of 5 hands in
a row, something like that, with no showdowns.

After the last one, I'll tend to show the hand, just to
cement the luckbox image for later bluffs.

rarely, if ever, do i show bluffs.

what about you all?

I don't think showing outside of showdown has much value at these limits. You aren't playing with anyone long enough for that type of information to be really effective. If you were playing heads-up, then it may be worthwhile against the right opponent.

Never, gotta pay to see. Let em think Im bluffing.

Re: When do you \"show cards\" with no showdown?
 

no time to do that during my sessions

doesnt matter anyways

Re: When do you \"show cards\" with no showdown?
 

always have automuck cards selected. so annoying to have to deal with "show hand" "muck hand" buttons popping up when I just want to get my next hand.

Re: When do you \"show cards\" with no showdown?
 

I never show online. In live games, occasionally I will show cards when I want to project a certain image that does not reflect my true playing style.

Why would you show after winning loads of hands? you want them to think you are loose/aggresive so u get value when u have a hand.

This isn't always the case. You can show them bluffs to get them to call more often. You can show them monsters to get them to fold more often.

But here, it doesn't matter.

There is nothing I love more than people showing hands constantly, just lets you pick up very specific reads. Never show hands, just not worth it tbh.

Obv you can show bluffs to induce calls later (still not a fan of it + dont think everyone falls for it) but op was refering to when he has won 4 in a row and had hands not won 4 in a row through bluffing.

Re: When do you \"show cards\" with no showdown?
 

The only time I ever show is if it's folded to me in the bb and i'm holding aces. I don't know why. I/m sure it's annoying, but I do it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i dont even have the option to show cards since i turned it off in full tilt's settings. its pointles unless you are in a grudge match against teddykgb.


i already have to make enough clicks playing 9 tables...i dont need to add another one everytime i win a hand.

Re: When do you \"show cards\" with no showdown?
 

from my experience, when you've been winning hands
through PF raising, C-betting, and winning a lot of
pots without showdown, players TEND to play back at
you a little harder as they begin to think "he can't
be hitting EVERY flop..."

so in the midst of nice run,
I'll show them the real deal...

my thinking is that it earns you at least a few more
bluffs in the midst of a nice run... perhaps enough
to stave off the eventual "play-back" until you're
hitting again.

Re: When do you \"show cards\" with no showdown?
 

i want people playing back at me. i would rather stack someone because i have a hand and they give me no respect than pick up a few easy c-bet pots. you can win a lot more money from people stacking off against you than you can by picking up small pots with cbets.
