Default Re: Slowplaying AA

I see no problem calling a raise or reraise, if the other player is going to do the betting for you. However, there are other factors I will look at too.
like...
How many chips I have left; What are the average number of chips left at the table; where the blinds are; How many chips the other player has left; etc.

The answers to these question may determine whether I want to get all my chips in before the flop or not, or how aggressive I may want to be after the flop. If the flop has a potential flush or straight draw open, I will bet more to make it less likely for them to draw out on me.

It is heartbreaking watching someone try to slow-play an AA and get out draw by 78s, because they let them see the turn and river too cheaply.

So overall I agree - for what it is worth - but there are other things that need to be considered in my opinion.
