I have 2 reasons to show. I want to see their cards, I want to prove I'm not a maniac.
Live tournament. Very 1st hand,
I have QQ, blinds are 10 / 20.
Pre-flop, I raise to 80. 3 callers.
Flop comes AT3, 2  s I am first to act. I throw out 100 and get raised to 400. Everyone else folds, I think for a long time. The guy I'm against is a good player, I've played him before.
400 bet and the pot is now about 770 (after his bet)
The thought pops in my head that he knows I play pretty tight. Could he be trying to make me fold? Is this bet size to ask me to call? After I already put in 100, I figure he wants me to call, he has either tripped his pocket pair, or hit 2 pair. I think he's too solid to be playing just an A, but that's possible too.
This is obviously going to be expensive to chase a 2 outer.
I fold, face up.
He mucks and takes the pot.
In this case, I showed for both of my reasons. But it still kills me not to know what he had.
