Default slowplay?

i know that slowplaying usually gets u an empty stack or a reason to fold on the river, but is this actually a time to do it? thanks

Full Tilt Poker
Pot Limit Omaha Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
9 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $0.4</font>, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($1.45, 4 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $0.5</font>.

At this level you can make a lot of money (ok, a lot of big blinds) against an opponent with any 3, so there's nothing wrong with your bet. And, at this level players will play with 3s. If no one has a 3, so be it, chances are you wouldn't have won a big pot anyway.

If someone has a middle pair, and they would have hit the turn, then you missed an opportunity but the odds of this happening against 3 opponents is in the ballpark of 5%. And this is at least partialy offset by the chance that someone has an over pair that will hit.

also you can bet more than a third of the pot for the same reasons.

The main reason not to slowplay here is not to avoid getting sucked out. If you don't start betting now you don't even give them the chance of giving it all away. Don't worry what hands will pay you, this is Omaha and they either got it or not. Just bet the pot
