Slowplay

[Ralph Wiggum]

I don't slowplay a lot of hands, so I'm looking for any input. Was I lucky to get these extra bets on the river or should I have reraised the flop when it came back around? SB is an aggressive player.

3-bet the turn, no question.

The turn is the spot to make your money. You can really make people pay for their "dead" draws, you may not get any money from them on the river.

Optimally, you will run into a 7 willing to cap every street.
