wow. Guess he wanted to make sure you liked your hand before he started capping. Who's this guy again? What table is he at?

His flop check really isn't that bad, especially if he knows you to be an aggressive player.

Yep, checking when you have the best hand, and getting all your bets in when you are beaten is a decent strategy...

This is an obvious preflop raise for CO.

Failing that, I think his flop check is pretty bad considering the suited cards and gutshot possibilities. On the other hand, the pot is tiny, and you are likely to fold for a bet, so some of the slowplay requirements are met. I don't know what I would have done in his situation... oh wait, yes I do. I would raise preflop.

If the flop had been rainbow I might have done the same thing but not with 2 of the same suit on board. Grrrr...

And CO not raising pre-flop is criminal! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Your short-sightedness in this hand is pretty stupid.

This hand reminds me of a hand you posted last week.
What a joke (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&amp;Board=smallholdem&amp;Number=1329673 &amp;Forum)

For some reason you feel the need to be rude to anyone who disagrees with you, and yet you slowplay 1 pair on a board with several straight draws and a two flush against 5 opponents and make fun of a guy who slowplayed top 2 against 1 opponent. Let me reiterate this: you have no clue what you are talking about.
