While on the other hand as another infamous blogger mentions repeatedly there in many cases can be value to be had later by showing your bluffs proudly. Her snap call to the all-in preflop leads me to believe she had AA. A garbage yet powerful ATC hand such as the HoChunk Nuts (Queen-Ten) would have been the winner....Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221409127717174351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-1387702614312378032019-06-10T07:21:46.364-07:002019-06-10T07:21:46.364-07:00Thanks, Lester.

Suppose she had pocket 4's, for example. Show it and then she'd really be able to get value when she really has a hand, no one will believe she has th goods. I dunno, I've always read "show your bluffs proudly."Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-45180632213161225292019-06-10T07:08:23.513-07:002019-06-10T07:08:23.513-07:00It borders on humorous that amateur poker players ...It borders on humorous that amateur poker players at small stakes levels avoid showing their cards at showdown. Like this lady who likely mucked a winning hand. The amount of "information" from her pre-flop actions that she managed to conceal from the table by mucking her cards was litterally of NO VALUE. Only if she had made some maniac move with an ATC/garbage hand MAYBE it was worth hiding that. Or not??? I think she mucked the winning hand.....Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221409127717174351noreply@blogger.com
