Default bluff-->show hand?!

hey guys, i want to know what people here thinks about showing your hand after a big bluff. i sometimes (really not very often) do that for inducing some tilt or induce players call me wide in the future. Maybe showing hands give away an extra information to your opponent and this is alway bad against good players.. what do you think?
I just decided to not showing bluffs anymore in 6max becouse the 4 players not involved in the hand can gain some extra info without any possibility that they go angry/tilted for that, but maybe i keep showing bluff while HU...

I show bluffs a lot since I want action.

The best time imo, is at the end of a session vs a reg you will be playing with again. If you do it at the start of a session there is the whole "hes not going to bluff me again" thing on there side. Not so bad if you have the balls to keep bluffing them. I like to leave them with a bluff, and get the action next time.

I only do it when playing HU and almost never.... only when I'm against a nit and want to loose him up or tilt him and if my bluff look super good and really ugly hand like 84o or something like that.
