 Money or Ego: you pick, Barry T, 15. Oct 2003 02:01 | ||

| Hi. Bright people are attracted to poker, and they enjoy other people knowing how bright they are. So they tell (or show) people about their terrific laydowns, brilliant reads, clever bluffs, well thought out elimination plays and so on. Well, all of this costs these bright people money..which my be OK for them because they are clearly playing for admiration. If you are playing for money, you need to kep your mouth shut about your palys, and your hands face down unless you are called. This is hard, I know but it is part of the price you pay for discipline and winning. BarryT | ||

| Hi. Thanks. But the comments and hand showing online (where I have been playing a lot lately) are just as bad. Where I play, there is aan auto-muck (always muck losing ad uncaled hands). I have never felt a need to uncheck this box. But I have seen an incredible number of people show losers (why?). I even saw a guy show a sympathy loser that was in fact drawing dead...but he will never know that because I did not show my hand. BarryT | ||

| Personally I think this applies online just as much as B+M. The thing that bothers me is when people feel the need to critique other players game at the table. Usually because they lost a hand to a bad play. While I'm all for people improving their game, I feel they should seek out forums such as this. Pointing out how superior your play is and hence how inferior others play (at the table) will only make them fix their mistakes which costs all of us money! | ||

| I love this post. I agree that you should never show a hand unless you need to. You give everyone free information by doing this. If you fold a hand and show it, you just let everyone at the table what hands you'll lay down in certain situations. My friend and I first started playing poker a few years ago. We were in a LL HE game and there was a guy at the table that was winning everything. I believe he was a good player, but was one of my first games so don't really know. There was a flop with a K Q and I don't remember what the rest of the cards were. My friend had the K and the player doing all the winning had a Q. They were heads up, and the other guy was pretty aggressive. At the river my friend ended up mucking his cards after showing them. After he mucked he found out he had the best hand. I never let him live that down. | ||
