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.

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.

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.
