I understand the frustration but at least you didn't go out of control with the raising on the later streets when danger hit!

This isn't the reason slowplaying sucks. It sucks because you missed getting value for your hand.

The final pot is 62 cents. 84% of the money went in after you were behind.

Serves you right for playing the hand so god awful when 4nl is all about b/b/b. Trying to say that in the nicest possible way as hopefully you will not do this again :).

Also just lol at slow playing AK vs a guy with ~15bbs who's a fish.

There is no need to get tricky, fancy or greedy at the micros.

Shorties always call if they have anything, always fold if they have nothing. Meaning, no need to be tricky at all :)

u gain nothing by just cheking AK, being tricky would be calling a raise with AK so u under represent your hand and u get action from weaker ace. that play is just set u up for high rissk low reward play.

Just remember that tricky play at these limits is COMPLETELY lost on them. Totally over their heads so all you are doing is hurting yourself (not getting value).
