They showed me their cards

[daveT]

Sometimes it's to show that they aren't bluffing. The amateur thinking is that I will fold more when they are actually bluffing. (yawn)

But usually, they are showing a cold bluff. Congratulations, do they honestly believe that I wouldn't have called if I could?

My style is hyper LAG. Do these people believe that I am hitting every flop? The most bizarre thing is when I fold my SB (almost never happens) and they show me their 53 offsoot.

Does any one on this forum show their cards (obv not). What are these people trying to accomplish? Are they attempting to tilt me? What are they trying to set me up for? I know that I should be able to gleen something from this free info, but what is it?
