Do you show your cards after a big bluff?

i’m always torn on this one. after a big bluff, part of me wants to just quietly rake the pot and move on, but sometimes the table gets so chatty and curious that it’s almost hard not to flash the cards just to stir the pot a bit. on the other hand, showing that bluff can make you a target or let them adjust to you way faster. never sure if it’s better to keep everyone guessing or flex a bit to set up later action.

also feels different live versus online. live games, there’s this urge to get in their heads, but you’re also giving up info. i’m leaning more toward never showing, but some players swear by the “show one, show all” mantra. how do you all decide in the moment?

Nah, “show one, show all” is the part that bugs me. Hate that phrase in poker.
