I don't like to show my bluffs when it's successful because i want to use it later on to milk it for as much as i can. You might put one or two player on tilt but then the rest of the players at the table will see how you bluff which is dangerous the next time you bluff. Just my two cents. What flaws do you see in this strategy?

<Every once in a while I like to show the table a bluff just to mess with the other players heads. My table image is typically very tight and aggressive, but I like to get a little bit of a psychological edge over my opponents here and there by showing them a hand that nobody in their right mind should be playing.

I usually pop out this trick about an hour or so after sitting at a table. After everybody thinks they have pinned me down to a certain style and play. I'll try and get the hand heads up against a fairly weak, non-aggrissive player - mainly so it doesn't cost me that much if i end up losing. I only show the bluff if I end up winning the hand.

How do you guys play your bluffs?>

i never show my bluff and i generally never show my wins either!!
it's pay per view man..if you wanna see my hand you have to pay me for it!
thats the best way to play
i will show bhig hands though like quads or boats!

The guy who finished second showed me a bluff, a few hand later i raise with KJ the flop comes AAA, I jut let him bluff at it and i called him all the way down. lol

sometimes i like to show a bluff in single table tournaments, but only towards the end. When it gets down to about 5 or 6 players just to let them know i'm not messing around.

i always show my bluffs, because everyone will think im bluffing from time to time. I like messing with ppls heads

I dont like to show bluffs myself...sure there's going to be times when you want them to think you're bluffing, but there's also going to be times where you DONT want them to think you're bluffing. This way you just leave them wondering...and of course if they're wondering, then they're not focusing on other things that may be going on at the table.

Never table a hand unless you think it's going to help you later i.e. set-up your opponent or put him on tilt. You have to be willing to make a play later if you're going to show.

I never show my hand, it will keep them wondering the whole game.
