When slowplaying goes wrong..

[OhJoeyRox]

I misread, in that case even more reason to bet flop. What was your plan if he bet flop? You're not gonna stack people by checking top set oop on the flop this deep.

I was aiming for 3/4 of his stack [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Bet the flop. The question I have for you is what are you 3betting and checking the flop with? You're OOP so therefore, you make very little by c/r here, since more often than not, villain folds. So just bet. About 0.85 sounds about right. If he folds, so be it. You still made 28BB's.

Assuming then that villain calls, either bet the turn or crai. More often than not, you're just better off betting this down for value.

Please unlearn how to slowplay. I play 200NL and it's still rarely needed/used. So please, unlearn it.

I know slowplaying is seldom right. I now can smack myself to the head for not betting the turn. But the circumstances looked right in this hand..
