Default Re: Getting into the math of slowplay

James,

Big hand vs. big hand should be a far different scenario than what I presented. We'll all seen big flops turn an aggressive table into pussycats. Because it is infrequent, players understandably struggle for the right line. I wouldn't even calling it slowplaying when you KNOW there is another big hand or hands or draw(s) out there. I am talking about the situations where you are clearly way ahead.

Oh, and Snowball - I wanted to move this discussion away from the issue - you know they'll call - for two reasons. 1) It would interfere with the math others were trying to help with, and 2) You weren't there. This table was ready to fold this hand. That happens, too.

The real important point may be that there appears to be limited and potentially negative financial value to slowplaying. When in doubt, bet.
