Where do you guys stand on saying what you have while you're still in the hand?
I did this at an APL tourney, I said "I have Big Slick" a few times, and kept betting, and opp kept calling with TT when a K was onboard. Big slick won! She was so pisssed, she said next time I say what cards I have they go in the muck. I never heard of that. In fact I distinctly remember a bunch of stories (mostly from supersystem books) about exactly this kind of psych play.
I stopped doing it anyway, since it was perceived as rude there. At cash games with Molinero, this stuff was all part of the fun.
As long as the only active hands are your own and exactly one other person, I don't see any problem with it whatsoever. Given those conditions, I honestly can't see any argument against it whatsoever, but that's just me. Make sure you follow the house rules though. If it's legal and will upset somebody, I guess you just have to weigh the pros and cons. If it's going to make some up-tight fish pissed, I'd avoid doing it.
why do you think the number of opponents matter ? As long as you don't show your hand you may be lying.
I think it is fine as long as it is allowed by house rules
I don't like it with 3 or more people active in the pot for a variety of reasons. One, it opens the door for blatant collusion. It also makes everything very sticky and complicated. Say I'm on the button and turn card is just flipped. I start babbling about my hand. The SB now has some information to work with and the CO very well may not be happy with me, as I've put him at a relative disadvantage. When the pot is HU, these concerns disappear.
