Default the value of slowplaying in heads up limit hold \'em

This guy is pretty much the most passive player I've ever encountered. It's amazing. Unfortunately he runs hotter than God so I haven't cracked him yet.

However, this hand is a perfect example of his brilliant "slowplay everything, even vs. a hyper-aggressive player" strategy.

Slowplaying is the new fold preflop.

I still finished loser to this guy. Apparently it doesn't matter how slow you play if you constantly flop two pair or better.

and questionable does not necessarily mean bad. I might let your laggy ass bet every street too instead of blast you off your likely cheese on the turn.

AND GW!!! WHEN HULA!!! I can't believe I missed the BK drama earlier this month. I will avenge him. I do not run icy horrible gawd aweful cold like he does.
