What should I do in this situation?

I have a strong hand and hit the flop, they do the slow play to try to extract chips from opponents even at the risk of their opponents improve their games with turn and river or should I bet even run the risk that not extract any value of the villains?

I subscribe to the rule of never ever slow playing. Unless you flop quads or top full house. If you are talking about micros cash; It just doesn't make sense to slow play. Players want to call so why give a free card?

There are too many factors that go into that decision to answer. You can potentially apply generic rules, but it's best to be adaptable and fluid in how you approach post - flop play. Primary factors are pre-flop action, post-flop action, opponent stats, # of opponents in hand, position, and board. There are several others I am sure, but these come to the front of the mind. All of these combined will help determine the best course of action for every hand individually.

NorskNewman I like that. That is my top rule while playing too. If I have good cards in the hole, I fire at the pot. If I hit the flop, I fire at it again. You are not going to be in my pot unless you are calling the pot or more every cards. $.20 is better than letting a player draw out on you and lose $3. And I guess we all catch some of those monster hands on the flop and drag a couple players LOL That's when it really gets fun. GL guys

Man this is something I been needing to read. And believe me, I'm going to study some on these things you have put out there. I think it's about time to work on some other stuff. I started out working on my tilt problems, which has improved my game 100%. Now I'm working on position and range. Those go hand in hand. Well there is another I'm trying to control my betting. When, Where, And How Much. And I sure not doing this on my own. I'm here to learn and help someone else if I can. GL

Depends on how strong your hand is and the texture of board.

Your decision will depend also on your observation of table and people.
