This is a spot where I DO show. If we get to showdown and people are all looking around sheepishly I'll show whatever I got. 7 high? No problem.
It's low stakes, almost no one will know what to do with the information anyways. It also avoids someone getting embarrassed for having to show king high. (Some people do) plus it keeps the game moving and friendly.
I'm sure there are times where I might force someone to show first, but for the most part just turn your damn cards over.
