Default Re: I flop my first royal during rebuy period 100r. Now what?

one of the prerequisites for slowplaying a hand is you have to think tha by using deception you gain more on later streets than you do by playing more straightforwardly.

basically there is no flush draw that he can have that will stack off if another spade comes, so we cant hope for him to draw to a strong flush. If he has a one pair hand he probably isnt putting in too much money no matter what, and if a spade comes on the turn or river, he for sure isnt putting a bunch of money in. If he has a set or two pair then he is more likely to put a lot of money in on the flop and turn then he is on the river whether another spade comes or not.

Basically the point of slowplaying would be to hope he is 2pair or set fills up and he goes all the way, but since the probability of him having those hands plus the chance that he will fill up before a spade falls to kill our action is so small slowplaying makes no sense. Its clearly higher EV to build the pot now and hope we get action

if he folds theres nothing we can do, it just wasnt meant to be
