Default \"Do you want to see my hand?\"

What's your typical response after you folded and the winner asks "Do you want to see my hand"?

My response is in white font below (highlight to read):

<font color="white">Up to you. You don't have to if you don't want to.</font>

"Yes" seems like a good answer to me.

I have to agree with JTG that "yes" seems like the right choice.

I think the "Uh... sure" would be a more optimal answer. Saying yes kind of gives your opponent the impression that your laydown was hard, while saying "Uh... sure" shows that you didn't really care, but figured, mize (might as) well look.

A lot of guys I know exactly what they have. In that case, I usually say no. Every now and then I'm really curious and not sure how someone plays. Then I say, coincidentally exactly as Justin suggested, "Uh, sure."

I get a special bonus at my home game. It seems whenever a certain four people force everyone to fold, they like to show their cards, bluffing or not. It's fantastic to get the free info without even asking. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
