Default People that show bluffs are horrible people

When you're playing poker, and someone beats you then turns over their cards to show you the bluff... that's a horrible person. They'll always be a horrible person. I don't care what it's intended to do, the person that does it is someone you should avoid in future. They're horrible people that just want to rub things in your face. They have something to prove. That's my take on people that turn their cards over to show their bluff. It's inexcusable behavior.

I'd say they can be very helpful: as get successfully bluffed frequently is something you rarely get positive feedback on, due to never seeing the other player's hole cards. Now you have.

Yes, it's good to see their cards. I'm talking about the people that show it.

Im talking about when you lose most of your stack, and then the idiot shows you he was bluffing you. That's a horrible person.

LOL...you risk MOST of your stack, LOSE by assumedly folding and THEN get upset when shown a bluff?

You're upset at the wrong person...check a mirror.

I do it to tilt certain players and make them play worse. I get very pissed I get shown a big bluff, but I'm also grateful for the free info.

Maybe you shouldn't play poker if you feel that strongly about it.
