when i'm heads up at the end of a SNG, i show a lot of my hands. for example, if i raise his BB with an ace in my hand and he folds, i'll show it. then when i get AA/AK/AQ, i'll limp and trap him real good when i hit my ace on the turn/flop.

Showing my bad hand worked to my advantage big time yesterday. I was on the button on a 8 person table. The blinds were at 75-150. There were two callers in the pot when it got to me. I had 74o and raised to 600. I was obviously trying to steel the blinds. The SB folded and the BB raised to 1800. Everyone folded to me. I said "I am sure you have 7 high beat" and I turn my cards over. From that point on I started getting cards and people started calling all of my bets. For example, same blinds I have QQ, raise to 1200, a guy goes all in for 2200. I call. He has A6o. I dont think he would have made that move If I had not shown a bluff a few hands earlier.
Kind of a funny side note...The flop on that hand was AQ6. Luckily I avoided another Ace and took down the pot.
Moral of the story is I think showing a week hand is can be profitable under the right circumstances. |

I almost never show a hand, although sometimes I will purposely make a bad call after the river to pretend I am a moron. This is essentially showing your cards, but not really.
I know that I am already beat, but by calling the $1 bet and letting him see my crap, he might think he's gonna own me. Now the table is primed....
I was playing a live tourny last week, 80 players, down to head to head.
I had twice the stack as my opponent. blinds are 4000 /8000. Homeboy in small blind puts in his 4 grand, and I raise to 40,000. I knew he was gonna fold, (which he did) and I was quick to show him my 34 off suit. He was pissed, and 3 hands later I busted him for the $700 bones first prize...... |

| Here's a situation: I have Jh 4c, the flop comes out Js 10s 5s. The other two in the hand check...I bet bb and they folded. I showed hoping next time there is a suited flop and i hit, they may think i just paired the board. Any ideas on this???? |

| One thing that I dont like is people who showboat. For thoes of you who dont know that is when you flaunt your hole cards after the hand is over. I think its great if people show their hands to get more cashflow going, but if your going to show your hand just to be an poopyhead then thats pretty lame. |

Exact reason I show my hole cards ^^, I want you to be pissed, and then pay off my aces. |

| I probably show too much, in serious games I rarely show but in home games with mates I tend to show hands, 'specially funny hands like a three-bet with rippy when I sense weakness etc. |

| I seldom show both cards. I like to sometimes show just one. I was in a pot with another player a few weeks back. Im playing AsQd and by the river the board was 4 to a spade flush. Im holding the nuts and my opponent bet into me so I minimm raised. After a while he folded and I showed my Qd while mucking my Ace. I love to do this against cocky players that give it all the mouth at the tables. He had been acting like a twt all night. Later on I took him out with KK. He got to see both my cards then. Hehe. |
