Default Re: Showing cards. What\'s your opinion?

I agree with speakeasy. I often say "good fold."

I NEVER show my cards on a bluff. The only reason why you would do so is to induce a call later on. SNGs are too short for that sort of tactic. I think a tight table image goes a lot further. You will be in a rut 50% of the time you play, and you need all the folding equity you can get.

I am intrigued my AleoMagus comments. Do you really think that commenting in the chatbox, "I'm a tight player" really works?

Funny thing is that I read someone's comments the other day, in which the guy actually folded his (claimed) AK to some guys AJ reraise. His subsequent comments were I am a tight player. I then marked it in my notes. So maybe it does work.

Does anyone have anymore stories like this? I am always interested in ways to create a strong tight player table image. Perhaps this is a thread in itself.
