I like the idea about betting on the river to not give away your cards, and therefore information. Although I do think the bet is slightly -EV in the current hand, perhaps not giving away this information could be good. As a counter point though, shouldn't we check so that we can see his cards? If we are a better player, we will be able to use the information better than he can use the information about our cards. Furthermore we have position on him, so again, trading a look at each others hands has more benefit for you.

I was being a little tongue-in-cheek about hiding this hand. To be clear I feel that the real risk of losing your money totally outweighs the showing cards issue.

It is better to muck both hands than see both hands for two reasons:

1. You only get to see one hand but five people get to see yours. It's hard to be smart enough to overcome those odds.

2. When Villain folds the river you already know everything you need to know about his hand. He made a big move with nothing. But you have a very interesting and enlightening hand to show.
