To Show or Not to Show? That is the Poker Strategy Question
There are two schools of thought when it comes to revealing your cards after everyone else has folded and the hand is over. One asks, why would you? Why give your opponents free information about how you play when they didn't pay for it?While I totally understand and respect this online poker strategy, I believe that in certain situations, it can be advantageous to show opponents your cards.
When you watch me play poker on television, notice that I often show my hand. Of course, I'm not doing this randomly. My reasoning is calculated, and designed to give me an edge that I can exploit later in the game. Think of it like this, I'm planting seeds that I can harvest later.
