Show or not to show?

[alavet]

probably there were such thread here but i'm too lay, sorry : )

What do you think about showing hands in PLO H? Is it diffirient of NL, or it doesnt matter? When you shows your hand if you were?

Im just faced that noone player shows his hand. I think its a not bad way to increase profits playing in a low (0.5-1) limits, because ppl there not tricky a lot. I sometimes show my hands in a 4-7 players game when and only i bluffed. I think it makes you more unpredictable and giving you some credit when they drawing against your trips. And i very often to bet any 2of a kind in the flop and sometimes also show it.

comments?

Only time I show is to tilt players that tilt too easily, especially when it is a move that may be seen by mediocre players as a bad play or overly loose bet.

Example:

I limp Kd7d75 in LP in a multiway limped pot.

The flop comes Ad2d3c.

SB check, BB pots for like 5BB, folds to me, I call, SB (overly aggro, makes move like this far too often with two pair hands) checkraises small to like 15BB, BB calls, I call. Turn comes 4h, SB checks, BB checks, I pot and show after they both fold, over aggro player starts overplaying his crappy aces up even more and felts AT89 on a AQT flop to me like 10 hands later for 200BB.

I never show cards, ever.

I never show for 2 reasons:

1) I have my settings on never show
2) I'm not nearly as good as TheRempel at screwing with people's minds (which is by far the best reason to show).

yeah I never show.
If I tried screwing with someones mind it would probably just comeback to screw me over somehow.
