From a strategic point of view it is important to see what your opponent has so you can understand their range and betting style.
I only turn my hand over when I am the one who went all in and I have been called. If my opponent has turned their hand over before the river I will often turn my hand over if I am ahead especially when they are drawing dead (or extremely thin like set over set).
My opponents typically don't turn their hands over until showdown so I never turn my hand over even if its the nuts until after they have turned over their hands. It is possible on the river that they will discard their hand and in some rooms I will be allowed to win the pot without showing my hand. At Foxwoods I believe they still have the rule where the winning hand must be shown.
More importantly though if I have the current nuts and then I am outdrawn and I don't have to turn over my hand because I have lost, then I won't turn over my hand because it will be less info for everyone at the table.
Agree, just necessary info given must be the guideline. If it's you to show, then show. Just calmly turn up your cards, so be it any type of hand. Both overly snap and slow can be intimidating. Have seen some use supposedly tilt inducing techniques, showing one card etc, will not take that into my palette. At my casino all-ins and showdown require both to show, so I just turn up the cards, will have to do that anyway. Good thing dealer always tells when both have to show. When not required to show, it's always just muck if losing. Holdem has just two hole cards, I should be able to see what I have.
