Re: TPTK Slowplay
I like it. You give your opponent a chance to bet for the check raise. You're also giving him a chance to hit the turn and call off some of his chips.
The only problem I see is that once in awhile you'll run into a set here and you wont be able to get away. The question is, if you bet instead of check... are you getting away from a set? Or are you prepared to get your chips in with TPTK on this board?

The chance i'm getting away from this without a very specific read is really really small. You're gonna get everything in here, this is about extracting maximum value. Not about trying hard to find a reason to fold. I like the check, pretty standard indeed.

With this board I dont see many worse hands calling, and I dont see any "scare cards". Let the opponent get himself commited on the turn.

Re: TPTK Slowplay
I don't think this is as standard as some are saying. I don't mind the check here but you don't want to make your play to obvious b/c a bet here will help protect your future C-bets. I would probably check here 65% of the time and throw out a 1/2 - 3/5 pot bet the rest of the time.

Re: TPTK Slowplay
I like this given Villain's stack. But the move I like even more is the "really weak" lead. I think it gets more out of Villain when he has complete air.

Re: TPTK Slowplay
I'll take the Con: I bet.
Especially if you make continuation bets when you miss, make a bet when you hit. Yeah if he totally missed and isn't going to bluff he gets away, but if he is huggin a pocket pair or has some funky draw, you get him to commit. Checking is a-suspicious, b-gives free card, c-the guy gets away from it on the turn anyway d-you just got pwned You can make it look weak 4-600 or all-in given the stack sizes, but I see no reason to ket tricky even on a benign board.
