Should I slow play here?
 
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

UTG (t3085)
UTG+1 (t2230)
MP1 (t2435)
MP2 (t3205)
CO (t3865)
Hero (t1325)
SB (t2200)
BB (t415)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t90</font>, UTG+1 calls t90, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t280</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls t190, UTG+1 calls t190.

Flop: (t885) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t420</font>, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds.

Final Pot: t1305

Would it be better to just slow play here? I don't like to in general, but wondering if it might be appropriate here.

This is a horrible spot to slowplay since they often have PPs that they can't fold.

But wouldn't a PP 88+ have bet at this?

Not after your reraise PF. You got pretty good value getting them both to call that, and, well, getting a nearly 30BB pot at 15/30 isn't somethin' to sneeze at.

UTG might've been observant, and you've probably got a tight image this early?

Yeah I guess I should be happy that I got as much value as I did here, just going over some hands I've played in the last few months and I'm trying to think of alternate lines to the ones I did. This one seemed somewhat interesting as I usually don't slow play, but thought it may be appropriate here. Guess not.

EDIT: Probably have a tight image if anyone is paying attention. I assume they don't the first few rounds. Especially at the limits I play at.

no nice play.

I generally like to bet here because I think they will often have pocket pairs that will call and turn cards might come to kill your action (overcards to their pps). However, slowplaying on this board is not horrible by any means. Saying it's horrible is exaggerating.

when someone reraises pf and then checks the flop i think most players can smell the slowplay a mile away. i don't think either of the other players are putting more chips in unless they make a hand that beats you, e.g. a set. so you're really only giving them a chance to draw out. bet for value and hope a donkey plays back at you.

I agree. You bet here and hope someone with PP sticks around.

I think the better question is how do you encounter resistance here? If someone sees you as tight, and views the re-raise pre-flop as a big hand (QQ+), they most certainly push with 67 or 78 here.

What is you move if pushed here?
