I've been trying to pin a 'tell' out of a certain behaviour but haven't seen enough to draw any conclusions.
I play .10/.25 NL at Pokerstars.
Lately I've been noticing that a lot of aggressive players taking down pots with bluffs, then showing their hands. It happens quite a bit.
Unfortunately, I don't get to see enough hands with any of these players to know if they're setting up a 'table image' or if they're just ego driven and want to 'rub it in.'
I could see either way; they're going to get looser calls with their monster hands too. But when I consider their aggressiveness, and the fact that its low limit, I tend to think they're just announcing to the board, "The Maniac's here".
But then why show it?
