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.
