I probably became the biggest enemy of SLOW PLAY ...
Why?
Cause 80 hands from 100 I get lost my money by using SLOW PLAY.
Remember! You can use a slow play with huge profit only when youget on flop NUTS or approaching combination. Even play with pocket 77 with flop 267 slow play become murderous for you, if tern will be T and river will be 8.
In this case you opponent 100% will show to you hand something like TT or 88 or 59 . . .

REALLY!!! Do NOT use this damn move!
In future post I will Wright some words about how can you double your money vs Fish, who do not believe to yours flop All-in

I use slowplay just against opponents that are agrresive/ tend to bluff. Otherwise I usually like to bet for value. But for me it all depends on opponents.

I agree that you should never slow play against passive opponents. This usually means no slow playing at 2NL/5NL/10NL online and at 1/2, 1/3 and 2/4 live. You get much more value and protection from playing your big hands fast.

I agree with you. In 90% of the time, slow playing is tottaly wrong, specially with big pockets. It's really annoying when you see a draw in the board after the river, your opponent shoves and you need to fold with AA. Or worst, when you don't put value in the pot and see the villain, who was just waiting for a card, fold leaving just few blinds on the pot.
