had a-10 yesterday and flop came 10-10-2 rainbow and I slowplayed a bit in a 7 way hand and get crushed by pocket 5's on the river for a fullhouse. whats the damn point of playing these when no one will call when you bet for value and get screwed while trapping?

Don't be results oriented from 1 hand. Also your probably not going to get very good feedback with no HH.

That's just bad luck. I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen every single time. I hope you mix up your game when you play and use checks, raises, check-raises and bluffs differently throughout the game to keep your opponents guessing if you actually have it or not. Because if no-one ever calls your value bets, have you considered a chance that your play is too obvious in those situations? I know that's not what you asked but I'm just throwing that idea out there. Anyway, that slow played situation was just bad luck. Better luck next time!

Then what's the problem? You said before that no-one calls your value bets but now you say that they call 'til the end with only a middle pair or so. If that's the case, then you should be winning big time in the long run against them. You can't win every hand, not even every big hand but that doesn't matter. Luck is part of this game but only the skill-based long run matters and then you should be destroying those other players if they are as bad as you say.
