recently I've been noticing that a great deal of new players don't know what it is to slowplay. I find myself a victim of overthinking where I put them on some deceptive hand played poorly, where (many times) they flip over some huge hand that was bet all the way down HU. Most recently HU a guy flopped jj10 to his j10 and bet the pot the whole way down and when I nailed my straight on the river while holding QJ you can imagine my suprise at his betting pattern. Not that he played incorrectly but I never would have seen that coming betting the pot all the way down. Anyway, I forgot for a while that slowplaying is something that comes with experience (and reading) and more importantly that I shouldn't expect it EVERY single time.
