When to show Hands?

I don't really see it as a bad thing to show now and again when you have a monster, it can work in your favour to give the others the  idea that if your in a hand then you have a big hand.
i never agree with showing a bluff unless your trying to set them up to giving you more action

I agree with mostly with tinheads showing monster hands.
By more action you mean you will use it for deception?

I like showing my bluffs sometimes because you can get people thinking your bluffing alot and the call or raise when you have monster hands.  but I rarely give out my hands with being paid off.  My motto usually pay to see my cards.

I very rarely show my cards.  I think it's best to keep 'em guessing.

My policy is:  NEVER!!!!  For the minimal satisfaction or good you will get from showing a hand (good or otherwise), you most likely will cheese off more players.

I think it depends on the table you are playing.  Extremely loose  or super tight tables, you might need to show a few hands to establish an image at the table.  Showing a large hand at a loose table or showing unopposed trash at a super tight table will help you to gain an advantage by giving you a bit more respect on your next raise.

never is the best way.  anytime you show you give out information to the whole table.  someone like me will put it in your player notes forever.

If someone starts going on a losing streak and then i bluff a hand against them,sometimes i will show it. If they are near the edge of tilt it will usually push them off.

I will go with.... almost never.

If you are a player that have a great skill on playing with different strategies everyday, sometimes loose, some more conservative... then you can show sometimes as people who take notes on you wont have it easy on finding a betting pattern.

If you are a player that most times use the same strategy NEVER show your cards.
