Default Deliberately annoying the table as a tactic

I usually never show my cards, ever, unless I feel the opponent was playing well, and folded properly given my play and he deserves to know - and even then, I do it rarely and usually to tight tables and it's a high pair - it helps in blind stealing.

Anyway, recently I tried NoblePoker, and didn't really know what the game was like. I sat down waiting for the BB, and it was neutral preflop, extremely tight postflop for a 0.5-1 holdem game. Anyway, it gets to me, I get 72o, and raise once it comes round - but this time there were 4 in the flop, instead of the 2-3 that usually went in. The flop's low and raggy, and no help to me. I check, the bet starts to my right, goes all the way around, and I raise. They all fold...

I then do what I never do, I show.

After that, the table goes a bit nuts, but I have to sit out cos I know they'll be at me and I get no good cards for a couple of circuits.

Anyway, I kicked myself for showing - it's just drawing attention to yourself. But it did in fact light up the table for about 50 hands.

Does anyone ever do something like this, and what's your experience of it?
