"Slowplaying" One Pair In a Multi Way RR Pot

[Haiku]

I think this would be better if only one of them were in the pot.

I completely agree.

yea, so many hands destroy you, AJ, AQ, QQ, JJ, slow played AA, KT, against that many people, you are so often behind here

[PatInTheHat]

You need to bet that flop if your going to continue in this hand. There are so many cards that can come that will ruin you and you might already be way behind.

I don't mind the flop/turn actually, but would need a special reason to call the river. In fact, I'd hardly ever call that unless villian was someone who would play anything PF and would almost always fire a bullet or two if they sensed weakness post flop - sounds like you had both these things going for the call so it's probably fair enough.

Thanks for all of the replies. Obv. a much more standard line would have been to bet the flop but there really wasn't much that was standard about this spot so I opted to try a different line, one which I felt enabled me to better utilize my position.

He ended up showing Qd9d and mhig. Obv this hand has some very specific reads and table dynamics involved so maybe it was a bad one to post.
