That was a gutsy check on the river. Man oh man, good place to get the hand.

Yeah, I'd have to have a guaranteed read that there is no way these three are letting this check around. Even then, not bloody likely.

Wrong check maybe, but gutsy? Gutsy is to call your whole stack with buttom two pair /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Really, what can I lose? Which hands will call me, that doesn't bet themselves? A king maybe and what else?

I think the chance of getting a little bit of money on this hand is far greater by cheking and letting someone take a stab at the pot.

As it where it obviously didn't matter. Poor guy....

Well, Ok I wasn't refering to any particular hand /images/graemlins/smile.gif But as he actually had buttom two on the flop, I understand why you think so

A different reason to never ever slow play. OK, so it's not as gut-wrenchingly awful as Skjonne's example, but it still hurt. $120 is 4-6 hours of grinding for me.

Maybe not. But relatively speaking it was as expensive as it cost you a buy-in. You would've taken his whole stack if neither of you were slowplaya'in
