Poker 54

When you are playing online poker, is it a good idea to show your cards to your opponents. This is an argument that has forever existed among the online poker community. Like anything, you have your pros and you have your con’s.                                                                                                            “Showing the nuts” is a strategy where you show the best possible hand, which is also known in poker as the nuts.  I tend to show these hands only when a big pot is taken down and I have made a significant raise on the river.  Let’s say for example you’re holding the nut flush and two players call you down to the river.  They check it over and you bet out 500.  Both players fold and you show the ace high flush.  This can set up a future bluff, where you may find yourself in a similar situation on the river and bet out 500 as a stone cold bluff (buying the pot).  The chances of them folding are likely if they feel you are a tight player and wouldn’t be bluffing with a bet identical to the nut flush shown before.  This works only if you rarely bluff and have not been previously caught by your opponents, keeping your table image tight.                                                                                                                                                As mentioned, by “Showing the Nuts” your table image will be held in a high regard, and people will be treading warily when you are in a pot. This means you can intimidate your opponents out of pots with big bluffs, because they will remember the last time you raised on the river you had the Nuts!
