Assume you play a tight and aggressive online NL game, including the occasional bluff when appropriate, do you think it is a good or bad idea to reveal some bluffs to your opponents? That is show your cards when you weren't called on a bluff.
i.e. is it worth more to be able to steal small/moderate pots when everyone assumes you are a super tight player, or better to get payed off on big hands because people think you are a bluffing nutcase (the two extreme ends of the spectrum).
Not a question that has any definitive answer since its so dependant on game flavour, your current image and your bluff frequency, but I'd be interested in any general views on the subject?
To date I have never revealed cards I don't have to (always have auto-muck on) but I'm wondering if I should be re-thinking that strategy?
