No Muckin Way

ABOUT 95 PERCENT OF THE TIME, I WONT show a hand if I dont have to. I dont want to give any information away for free, because when people have no clue how you work, thats what gets them to do crazy things against you. But poker is all about playing the player, not just playing the cards, and if you know you can show someone something to get under their skin and it will make them play worse, then every now and then you should capitalize on that.

If I pulled off a bluff, I might like to needle the other player by showing it to him. Or maybe Ill show my opponent one of my two cards, often the less significant card, just to make him wonder. I might show him a 3, just so hell say to himself, He raised me with a 3 in his hand?! When the other player is a target, someone whose head you can get into, then there are benefits to giving him that free information.
