| Showdown Value | A hand, which will add value to your table image if shown at the river when everybody sees your cards. Most typically used when referring to a hand which you raised. If you were on a steal with lousy cards, then such a hand would have low "showdown value" and will likely lead others to play back against you in future hands you've raised. If you raised with good cards, then no matter what happens at the river, this hand has a high "showdown value" and will back up your table image that others don't want to challenge your and play back against you in the future. |
