My advice is to never show your hand..as the degenerate gambler himself Vince Van Patten says:Keep 'em guessing..And remember that if you show your bluff live then your opponents know your face when you're bluffing and they observe your betting patterns while in case you had the best hand they feel great about a good laydown.

I don't think it is smart to show off your bluffs, cause ppl would know that you are a bluffer and you will get on of those times.
