I never slowplay because...

[bholdr]

...I'm not very good at it:

Table is tight and passive- i have been stealing antes, and raises have been getting plenty of respect. Seat 5 is fundamentaly sound ad fairly aggressive, but nothing special...

Just a little more... then POW! (i was worried that a raise right here would knock him out, but considering that my board is non-threatening and the case Q is dead, i probably should've popped it right here, right?)

DAMMIT! dumb dumb dumb...
should i have raised fifth? bet out on sixth (hint: answer is 'yes')? geez.

Assuming that I'm trying to pull a slowplay, what's your line?

[bigredlemon]

I bet/raise every street where I'm ahead, and check/call it down when i'm behind, even if I know I have the worest hand of everybody. Probably my biggest leak. Trips probably cost me more money than any other hand.

Its not the worst thing in the world that you did not raise 5th, but once you pair the 6s on 6th street I would have bet out. Hopefully then he thinks you just have 2 pair He will likely call you with a pair of Ks trying to improve to 2 pair, and probably will pay you off on the river whether or not he imroves just in case all you have is the 6s.

[bholdr]

He did pay off the river bet. I think i should've been betting/ raising since fifth, though.

[beta1607]

5th is fine, but never check 6th here. There is no way he is going to call a check raise when you have an open pair so just bet it yourself and lead 7th.

[PoorLawyer]

not betting 6th just smells like a trap, which is probably why he checked.

I would raise 5th.
