The slowplaying type of game

"The slow play game " is the type of game when you do not raise very often and expect your opponents to make the raise in order to put them in a trap ... An example of slowplay is when for example you have 22 from big blind and the button raises 3 big blinds .. you call and flop a set and then you check in order to let your opponent make the raise and that way you get some value in the pot

The only thing I really don't like about this method is that if the v doesn't raise you lose out on the money you could have won if he called your raise. Also, if he checks too there's a chance that he hit's something on the turn or river that gives him a better hand and when he does raise into you, you'll be beat. Just watch out for those thing in this method, it works a lot better when you know the player a bit and know there tendencies to know what they have a little bit better than just some random player at the table.

slow play is a strategy very good to win some stacks, very important to know our opponents, make notes on the same. beware of villains, they are not kidding, if he increase it can be flush draw or straight draw. won't commit and leave the tournament.

Think this should be villan specific, with villans that have a high aggression factor this may be a good play, but against passive villans you are just letting them see cards for free.

yea, I usually am not excited to play 22,33,44,55. Way too many times the few times you are lucky enough to get a set, one would lose to a higher set. Even more frequent, one fortunate to get a set for their 22,33,44,55 is not guaranteed to not bump into a straight or flush.
