There are so many advantages to showing rabbit in so many ways but few players use this tool... It's not bragging bout a great hand. just a tool to send misinfo for future hands... Does anyone agree with this tool?

the mis-info theory is a bit truncated in my opinion. Your giving away info, but you are unable to frame how that info is being used by your opponents. If your spending that much time directing a narrative, you leave yourself vulnerable to losing focus in other factions of your game. Plus you may assume your opponents are thinking about what your doing, and you make make plays that are over their level of perception, and that almost always backfires. Furthermore you run the risk of making them feel good about their fold when they see they would have been beaten, you always want your opponents to be thinking regretfully about the potential of the last hand, because it prevents them from thinking about the present one.
And you don't even need to pay me 10k in points for that advise. ;)Quote:

I don't like the rabbit feature and nor do I believe it most times. I only use it on a bluff
i use the rabbit at times, yes it can be very useful, showing bluffs to set up future action, show a big stack you had the hand, however doing the rabbit doesnt mean that would of been the cards that come out since they use a contunious shuffle.
Don't use it often enough.. I like the auto muck
A lot of players say that when you rabbit, it's different cards from what originally was going to come. I usually only do it if it was just folded around to me, just for fun.
Showing a bluff is always good for future calls and rabbiting will get players to stick in hands just cause of what they could have done last hand LOL
I dont like the rabbit, i think its just a waste of time
Poker is about having information on other players and using it against them, so for that reason I DO NOT show my cards for any reason, and doing a rabbit is showing yourr hole cards, which is osmething I dont do unless for fun in a PO game.
The only reason I ever show my cards is to let the blinds know I wasn't stealing with garbage that hand so I can steal with garbage the next. The rabbit hunt is a waste of time. Those cards that pop up at best are just random and at worst are designed to encourage people to play bad hands since I'm not so sure the site is obligated to use the RNG for those.
If I didn't pay to see it. Then I don't want to see it. And that is the bottom line.
I like to show for strategic reasons. I like to show my opponents that I have a good hand, this way when I bluff, they assume that I might have something and therefore are more likely to under play one of their hands or fold.
Dont use it for 2 reasons. Number1 you will put a target on your back and will become more noticed. Number2 you will give players info on the next hand and players will be able to predict the flop.
Usually the best way to play is not to show. But if you want to show someone that you're playing tight, I dont mind showing a couple of good hands. You really cant just show because you want to show.
i like to show a rabbit for a vary of reasons. but it's the funnest when someone is in chat talking smack and then you show him the cold bluff to tilt him some more.
honestly the deal is static so if someone calls the cards would be diff than the rabbit but i enjoy the rabbit in certain occasions to show the bluff or show the monster hand
only time I use rabbit is when im curious about what I would of had or if I got what I was lookin for
Showing rabbit is a risky play. You give away information about yourself, you also get your opponents thinking about what you are doing, and you risk tilting yourself if you put any stock into the cards that come out. Giving away information can be good, but it can easily back fire. Smart players will pick up betting tendencies if you show cards. As much as you try to fake them out you might give away a tell inadvertently. It's much safer to just much and keep them guessing.
I don't use rabbit to often only if I had a good hand
I also do not like rabbits! but I do not think it's a waste of time!
This! +1 Really well said.Quote:

Auto muck, why give away any information you dont have to

2) I use it when the following three circumstances hold:
a) I am either way behind in a freeroll or play money game with no chance of winning or way ahead and fairly assured of where I will place.
b) There are people on the table I have played lots with.
c) I am making plays deliberately to mess up the common opponents' stats.
I will do 1 or 2 rabbits just to get players trust , otherwise I don't want you to know what could have been.
showing the rabbit is meant for seeing if ya get what ya were chasing, not for bragging
yea I totally agree!! I dont see a lot of people using this
well said....
i am a rabbiteer
but maybe not now...
great tool to see if you woulda got what your lookin for
I like showing rabbit cams sometimes just to spice up the game a little.
whats the big deal about the rabbit feature? who cares, its for someones curiousity
I like the rabbit feature, I can't help but wanna know "what might've been"
I do agree it probably gives away some of my secrets but I cant help it sometimes, I wanna know !!!
If others are rabbitting then I will return the favor.
Especially when I raise and everyone folds..... I know that they probably would've hit and sucked me out...so I like showing so they can see what they missed!
i used it to see what might have been for sets sometimes but if maybe a royal i cant help but look
whether or not rabbitting and showing can be good in some situations, how can you go wrong with just mucking everything and not giving your opps any info?
It is a tool that has uses.. just for I kinda wondered is not really using it properly.. but acceptable in meaningless early play.. just my opinion
Your giving away info, not sending any misinformation. The only advantage I can see is possibly putting someone on tilt.Quote:
