Would u guys slow play here?

[demon102]

I feel like I could have made more here if I let a free card come off and one of my opponents hits a pair but I hate slowplaying except in certain cases. Would any of u guys slow play here?

This looks fine.

Standard, keep betting in this spot.

You'll get more action by building pots than by slow playing ITLR.

The goal here is to get as much in the pot as you can. Can't do that by checking. This looks fine.

[pokerchap]

definitley bet, the pot is very small and we want to build it up.

[crookdimwit]

I agree. You need to bet here. On top of that do you really want to give a free card and risk someone outdrawing you to a better flush for cheap?

i think slowplaying is weak. if you have a hand bet it, donks in low limit games will come along with you. people are less likely to fold to a flop bet thinking you flopped the nuts than to call a turn bet if you hit your flush.

Betting here is standard because, the majority of players at these limits are subconsciously wanting to call. They'll often come up with a reason to call, or even raise. The point of slowplaying is allowing them "catch up" by letting them develop a second best hand. To make this work, this has two important factors.
1. They actually make a second best that they are willing to bet more with then (and hopefully felt it) if they simply called your flop bet and bet their second best hand later.
2. They actually catch it.

So right now there are few second best hands that they will be willing to felt, and the odds of catching them are rather slim. In this case you fold.

However if you flopped a straight flush, I think you have a bit more of a reason to slowplay, because it allows hands like Kd or Ad to catch a high flush and felt it. The thing is, that is still probably inferior to simply betting the flop because most players will call with the Ad or Kd anyways.

Slow playing isn't very effective at these limits. It also works better when you are OOP, and they have a tendency to bet. Then you can check/call, check/call, lead or check/raise.

Nope, build a pot. nh.

Without looking at the hand, I'll answer the title Q and say NO.

(Looking at the hand, same, no. Save slowplaying for when you flop a royal)
