Flop the nuts, should I slow-play?
8-handed live 4/8 hand. Hijack and cutoff are both LAGs, but the hijack is much more aggressive than the cutoff. The button is the callingest calling station in Callsville. The rest are loose/passive.
Preflop: I have Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the Big Blind 3 limpers, cutoff raises. The button and I call, and all limpers call. Flop: J 9 8 rainbow (no hearts) I don't slowplay often, but I had to think about this one. There are no real draws and if I check I can be pretty sure the PF raiser will bet. I'll post what I did later, but first I'd like to hear a couple of your opinions. |

so you're in the SB? donk and hope to 3bet.
this board is the complete opposite of "no real draws". |

SLOWPLAYING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
(And I'm not just talking about this specific hand - even though here it sucks more than usual.) |

Re: Flop the nuts, should I slow-play?
What hands should I be afraid of? A bigger straight, even though I have blocking cards?
And I added my position to the OP. The SB folded so I left him out. Sorry for the confusion. |

You're in a pot with every loose player at the table and several are aggressive.
Why would you slowplay? |

it isn't about the hands you're (not) afraid of; it's about getting as much money as possible in the pot.

Re: Flop the nuts, should I slow-play?
You have three players between you and the most aggressive player. Get them for as many bets as possible. Watch the aggro guy raise to allow you to 3-bet and get out of control with hands like any pair from AA-88, AJ-QJ, AT-JT, T9, T8, 98, J9, KQ... Slowplay almost never, but certainly not when there are so many other made hands that will put in bets with you.

Re: Flop the nuts, should I slow-play?
I see no reason to slowplay here. Many hands will have a little piece of this flop (pairs, overcards with draws, etc) and most will stay in.
Also, in general, people will be slow to give you credit for a straight - it's not as obvious as a flush, so you will get more action before people realize what is going on (if they ever do). |

[/ QUOTE ] QFT Here's about the only kind of hand I would consider slowplaying in a loose game; I'm BB and the SB raises many-handed and I call with A3s. Flop AA3 rainbow and SB bets. THAT'S a board with no real draws. |
