$22s - Mr. Slowhand

[K䲰䮥n]

Ok enough life bitching.

This is the first time that I slowplay in ages. Makes me think if I should do it more IF THE SPOT IS GOOD. These 22ers seem very eager to bluff their whole stack away. Anyway could you share some general thoughts on slowplaying and/or this hand in particular.

karp,

honestly - love it / perfect


not just saying that to be nice to you

sorry about everythign going on man - sometimes it pours when it rains. It can suck. Sorry. Let me know if you need to chat/vent or anything.

[K䲰䮥n]

Cheers. I'm not the one here who died/lost a job though. But thanks.

How about the slowplay in general? Less? More? Less is more?

[MikeMcQ1]

If you are going to slow play, this is the perfect spot for it, Karp. Uncoordinated flop and a villain who is overbetting and you have the nuts.

Life: You are supporting the people who are coping with those losses. That can be tough.

Poker: I have no idea how much you slowplay now so I can't really say wether or not you should do it more or not. That said, you should be doing it...ya know..."some"...

[unfrgvn]

I think this was played fine, the only thing I would point out is if the opponent is likely on a straight or flush draw then you should put him all in on the turn. He only has 360 left but if he misses you might not get it.

[FoldYourLife]

You might as well put him AI on the turn, but top set on a dry board is a great time to slowplay. NH.
