what's controversial about that?

I don't hate it, I just wonder whether it is the line with the highest EV (it may very well be).

This reminds me of the KQ hand I posted a few days ago, I wonder if I would have had better results playing it this way.

Slowplaying TPTK w/ straight and flush draws out there and 7 players in the hand.

No?

looks like (depending on where i thought he was going with the hand) he found a path that lost the min, won the max, and only has a small possibility to get sucked out on. he also avoided having to deal with any hard decisions.

this is not really slow-playing so much as catching bluffs/keeping the pot small. if it was a slow-play he'd raise the river (which would be dumb in this case).

I guess I can deal with this line because he couldn't very well raise PF. Still, hate playing AQ this weak/tight.

Don't like it, too passive, too many players. Bet medium bet on the flop, you do not have a hand good enough to allow 6 other players to see a free card. What would you do when a K hits? or the board pairs? or another spade hits? With that many players, the answer is simple, you'd fold. Push some out, build the pot, and bet out the turn and flop.

i think this would be a terrible line at the 33's, btw. i think the problem is that here no one will call your pfr with KQ/QJ and then stack off.
