when should you muck your cards and when should you show your cards? I usually muck my cards, unless, I am called of course. Is this considered poor etiquette. I play with family and they say that I should show my cards, but I tell them that if they wanted to see them they should have called my bet. They are all against me mucking my cards. Sometimes I am bluffing and sometimes I have a winning hand but I never show my hole cards unless I am called. I am going to play in a tournament this week and I need to know what the etiquette is for a casino table.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

You should never show your hands unless you have a specific reason to. The only I reason I find to show my hand is when I am creating a table image. When I want people to think im loose and stupid I'll always show my bluffs whether its caught or not.

I almost never show my cards (unless called). I almost never show my bluffs because I like to maintain a tight image so I can continue to bluff. I also don't show my bad beats like a lot of players do. I don't like to show people what I was three-betting, back-raising, etc. Giving free information is almost always a mistake, unless you're doing it to manipulate your opponents.
P.S. This is poker -f*ck your friends!
