Passively played hand
 

I have noticed that my flop agression is slightly too high and so I've been looking for spots where I should be playing hands more passively. I think that I need to be checking medium - strong hands sometimes too, as I think that regs are getting the read that when I check I must have air and so have been potting the turn a high% of the time.

How's this spot for slowing down?

wow, i am all for slowing down when its appropriate, but not throwing in a raise on the turn or river here is criminal.

Bet flop raise turn raise river.

don't like it

bet flop for value from Js, pairs w/a J, Ts, etc...then take it from there.

pick a better spot to slowdown

Re: Passively played hand
 

fwiw OP i would like a check behind here much better with a hand like AT or K9, the kind of hands that are weak made hands that cant really handle much heat but at the same time have some showdown equity.

It's a flop that I would hate to get C/R on, and alot of pair+draw hands such as JQ, JT do this alot to me here. Due to my flop agression I seem to get C/R alot.

How often does this player raise c-bets? (very usefull stat)

I don't think the hands you mention raises the flop too often since they got sd-value and vill isn't aggro it seems. There's alot value in betting charging hands like this.

Re: Passively played hand
 

c-bet flop, check turn to setup C/R river gets the most value out of this hand

Re: Passively played hand
 

I'm all for a cbet, check turn and raise river.

As played, God killed a kitten when you didn't raise at least the river.
