i chose to think of goofball examples to catalyze a dialog where hopefully people would bring up more applicable examples.

I think a more appropriate example of a preflop situation would be that whenever you are facing a raise from a very tight player and you have position, you should pretty much never 3bet, even with AA/KK because you can't profitably 3bet a wide enough range. So even though its technically a mistake to let someone see a free flop with an inferior hand to AA, the good spots we create postflop by slowplaying makes up for it.

Hmm. AM I the only one that thinks slowplaying a tight player is the exact opposite of what you want to do? What can you hope to gain from slowplaying a tight player, an extra Cbet on the flop possibly? Is that reward worth the risk of letting him see a flop? You most likely arent getting much more action from a tight player unless he has now out-flopped you, and is beating a single PP. The aggressive players are the ones you want to trap!!!
