I find myself unable to find a consensus on how to play pocket rockets, so how about talking about slow playing them in MTT vs cash games instead of slow playing them vs fast playing them?
I've found MUCH more success slow playing them in cash games vs slow playing them in tournaments (esp MTT). It makes sense: when 15k chips are a stand-in for a $5 entry fee, it is easy to take a chance and play more loosely; when it's real cash in a 1-2 game, that 78 suited doesn't seem quite as valuable.
Still, I'm amazed at how often they get cracked in cash games.
What have you observed about slow playing bullets in cash v MTT?
