Default Curveball hand - good time to show?

$15 SNG. I don't normally do this thing, but I fancied mixing things up. The flop was nice. Any advice on how you think I could have extracted more is welcome. I showed my hand at the end, as I am not going to try this move again. Wise move?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter

MP1 (t1420)
Hero (t1480)
MP3 (t1760)
CO (t1590)
Button (t1600)
SB (t1280)
BB (t1360)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1510)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t20, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t80</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t80, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls t70, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 folds.

Flop: (t280) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t80</font>, CO calls t80, SB folds.

Turn: (t440) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t280</font>, CO folds.

Final Pot: t720

Default Re: Curveball hand - good time to show?

i don't think so. not me. i'd prefer players to think i'm tight; it helps me make steals. i'm going to have to steal pots a lot more than i'm going to have monsters; why make other players want to call me?

it sucks when everyone folds to your AA, but sucks worse when they suck out on you when you get two callers with top pair mediocre kicker.

especially in a stt, i can't see this paying off too often.

nice flop though.
