Showing cards

[2damnhype]

Wondered what people's views were on here about showing cards when the last player standing takes the pot? I always muck my cards, and I have got to be honest I don't know what kick people get out of showing that they copped for the money with either total shite or the nuts - it just pisses me off!! Is the showing of cards a way that an internet poker player can demonstrate arrogance, is it a sign or their weakness or is it something else. I haven't been playing long, but I had always been led to believe that revealing cards when you don't have to isn't the best of moves.

Re: Showing cards Ive kinda got mixed views. There are some benefits. If you're usually a tight player and take a pot with a rare crap hand then shwoing your cards could give the impression that you play loose. This could lead to getting called when holding a good hand as others think you play with anything.
