Alright, this may be a silly question here but I need to know.

Suppose you successfully pull a bluff, can it be used to your advantage to reveal it (to piss people off) to have a psychological advantage for future draws or possibly put someone on tilt, etc...

Is it better to keep that information for yourself?
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks...hey this is my first post Neat site

 Yes, it can be used to your advantage. Just make sure the next few hands that go to showdown, you are not bluffing. The reason you show a bluff is for them to call you when you have a monster later, too many people show a bluff and keep bluffing and then get busted.

Do a search in the forums for "bluff" and "show", this has been discussed a lot before.

Ohhh, and welcome to FTR!!

If there are solid players at the table that wont tilt easily, I don't suggest showing because it might do more harm then good, because they might have had you on a tell of some sort that they thought was strength and you know showed them it means weakness...
