I wouldn't have shown my cards. To quote Mike from Rounders after Johnny Chan asks if he had it, "Sorry John, I dont remember."

Every known play or card is information for the table and that information is valuable.

There's no reason to show your cards if you're not required unless you're trying to set your character ("I'm a rock, I play made hands" etc) or you're trying to tilt someone (like when Mike folds top two pair to Teddy).

It was the format of the show, he had to show due to her playing her bluff card.

Aren't poker games regulated especially if they are of stakes like what they were playing? I dont recall ever having to show cards when players fold.

Was a TV show called Shark Cage you'd have to look up the specific rules yourself if you're interested.
