Default Showing strong hands in 6max limit

I play mostly 1/2 6-max (Party skin) and some 2/4 5-max (PokerRoom skin). In the past, I have always subscribed to the "never show your cards" theory. However, I've recently been experimenting with showing EVERY strong hand after I've made people fold and never showing bluffs. The theory is that fold equity is so much more valuable in 6-max limit compared to getting called down a lot. Of course people probably know that if I don't show, I've got garbage. However, people seem to remember what they actually see much more vividly that what they have been forced to assume.

In the very short term, it has been working quite nicely for me. I definitely have noticed that my pre-flop raises and flop bets get folded around much more frequently.

What does everybody else think about this strategy? Strengths and weaknesses?
