For all you kids out there - the dangers of slowplaying top set

[Tcchap]

Why raise the river here? I suspect he has the flush, if he does he beats me, if he doesn't he folds. I played this hand poorly on the turn and the flop but the river is fine in my own opinion.

So here is one where the guy against me slowplayed AA:

.1/.25 Blinds, $25 eff stacks

Villain is UTG
Hero is in the CO

Hero is dealt J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain Limps
Hero raises to $1.25 (I was bullying the table at the time)
3 callers including Villain

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Villain Checks
I bet $4
All fold except villain who calls

Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Villain checks, I check behind

River: K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain checks, I bet $5 and he goes AI, I call and he shows Aces and my flush runner runners him.

I'm not saying I played this well, but he played this hand sooooo badly and immediately went on to yell obsenities in chat, called me a donk and left. Don't slow play aces, pre or post flop. If he bets out at all I'm out of the hand.

I would have check the flop too, but with the turn card making a flush draw and villain betting, I would shift to defense mode right away. Then evaluate things come river.

I would have raised to .5 (4xBB + 1 per limp).

I really don't think a flop check is that bad since we have the board pretty much crippled. No matter what you need to raise that turn.
