| Slow Play I play in a lot of small number sng's and was wondering about this - when I get some good cards, let's say a pocket pair, I do not raise pre flop. The flop comes and I get a set. I either call any bet or slow play the hand. I have had some success with this way of playing in that I have won some pots, but I have also lost some pots. Last night I had pocket aces and slow played them. The flop came a, 4, 5 and no one bet and neither did I. The turn came and it was a 6. NO one bet so I bet the minimum. I had one caller. They river came and it was a nothing card so I bet pot and got raised. I figured him for a straight but I called anyway. I lost. Over all is this a good way to play taking into consideration that all players have about the same experience. I understand that if you are short stacked or have the big stack that you might play this differently. I might have asked a question that has too may variables to answer with any degree of certainty.

| re: Slow Play poker always race a bit the good pairs. So u can´t be sucked out from the SB or BB with 83o and they hit 2 pair. And if everyone fold his cards if you raise 2 or tripple BB, nobody got a hand to pay u. When the flop is rainbow colored and no straight is out there play it slow, but when there could be drawing hands, protect your hand with a bet. |

| I personally slow play near on everything from around a $10/1 buy in and up Under that sort of limit with the MTT's, there's a hell of a lot of ppl with half decent bankrolls figuring.. "oh well. it's only $2 or $3, may as well have a go..." with bugger all in hand.. the lower tables I play somewhat aggressively. As far as pockets.. for me 3-4x the min over 99, 7-8's min raise, under that.. call/check or throw it.. obv' depending on how they're playing |

| re: Slow Play poker In general slow play is bad, and you should never be slowplaying unless the next card will never make your hand seem worse (if you flop quads, or KK board is K 9 4 (slow play might be good here if you put your opponent on an ace) but in general slow play will not work out.. |
