The Poker Lab Rat

If your opponents always fold and never see your cards, that’s obviously not a bad thing, but it can prevent you from communicating to them that you’re mixing up your play. As long as you think that you’re the better player, it doesn’t hurt to show somebody your cards once in a while. Yes, it gives them information, but as long as you can play on that higher level and mix it up, then that’s fine. But if your opponents are better than you, and you’re more scared of them and you think that information will help them, then you shouldn’t show your cards.
