Theres also more to this hand than just slowplaying, its also bad playing. I almost never (cant get myself to use always or never when talking poker) limp in with a big hand in hopes for a limp re raise but if people do it Im fine with it... occasionally and not the default play. However, its criminally bad to slowplay pre and then also slow play on a flop where there is a draw. Then EVEN WORSE to only call your bet when there are two flush draws out there that they could get value from with a raise.
Slowplaying is not the devil, it has its places but people need to realize its something you cant do for multiple streets. I slowplay a street all the time to try to induce bluffs but if I dont get them then I am firing usually the next street, especially when draws come. Also if you are slowplaying and you get a bet from your opponent, normally you should raise it as your hand looks weaker than what it is and if your villain is bluffing you wont get any more anyway. Just rambling there but writing that we cant hate slowplaying or checking when we have it at times. We just need to capitalize on that play when we get villain to bet and if they dont, we need to start getting busy on the next street.
