Didn't mean to call PF. Been busy with the boy and didn't notice the big raise. Thought I was pressing check.
Once I've seen the flop I've decided I might have a chance of taking it down. chances of him having a K are small. And I've been playing so tight I don't think I've seen 10% flops..
Was shocked he called my c/r. And fired the 2nd bullet with loads of fear.
Showed the bluff so they might start calling - when I flop good (didn't happen in this table)

I've taken to not showing anything. I'll show the occasional bluff, but only when I'm running sickeningly good already and action is slacking off. To invite action when you're already struggling to win a pot is counterproductive, I think.

I prefer not to show. I won't give anyone free information.

I agree.
The hubby showed a huge bluff in a SNG the other night and it came back to bite him in the ass. Yes, they called with an inferior hand, but they probably would've folded because of his tight table image if he hadn't shown that bluff. They got lucky and hit the river and he bubbled out.

I almost never shows bluff's. But in this table I think I played 3 hands beside the above. Two of them where A's. One I took a very small pot on the flop, the other I took a slightly larger one on the river.
Due to the fact that I was sooo tight, half card dead and there was one maniac who kept raising every pot - I though showing the bluff is not that bad...
In any case I left soon after.

showing bluffs in SnGs is something id NEVER do. cash games, sure....
but not SnGs. youre gonna want to steal alot when it gets shorthanded with big blinds. youre probably not gonna be able to do so if youve shown a bluff

happened again.
The table jumped while trying to click on an action on a different table and I ended up min raising instead of folding - damn it was real hard to fire the 3rd bullet :
