To Show or Not to Show

I was just wondering what the general consensus is for showing your cards in Limit hold'em when you have a monster and some donkey sucks out on the river and/or plays cards he shouldn't and flops lucky.

Do most people show their cards, to let the donkey know how lucky they were, and how when you raise preflop, you have a hand? Or do most people not show and let the donkey think they're playing winning poker?

You are the donkey.

The worst part is that this barely makes the top 10 for most moronic threads I've seen in Medium Steaks limit the past few days.

You need to move up in limits. That way people will respect your raises and won't suck out on you as much. Then you can show the donkeys what real poker strategy is.

Your EV should go up by like 10x at least. Maybe 20x if you start wearing sunglasses and listening to your iPod.

Every time I think to myself that the quality of threads can't get any worse I get proved wrong.

Throw your cards face up right at them or, if it's a crazy beat, hold them up, try to rip them in half, when you can't, eat them. I've seen this before, it works. (seriously)

Stab preflop.
