Not kidding. I ended up crying all the way to the poor house and felt like an idiot when I was shown the 78 of spades.

Re: AKs where do you slow down here.
 

So all of you are in agreement that Straight Flush possibilities be damnes, you aren't slowing down?

What other hand it going to still be raming and jamming on the river other than the sf?

Q high flush maybe? Seriously, there is a looong list of crazy hands I've seen cap the river when I've held the nuts. While this isn't quite the nuts, you have to be good here more than you'll lose. Eh?

Re: AKs where do you slow down here.
 

You're not honestly scared of a straight flush, are you? Hero raises forever.

Also, raise the flop.

Re: AKs where do you slow down here.
 

Dude, just fold preflop.

Re: AKs where do you slow down here.
 

Grunching.

You can't really be worried about someone having a straight flush are you? You have to be salivating and praying that they don't fold on your raises.

There's nothing wrong with not raising here.

Sorta different, well in fact very different. But I just wanted to show this hand.

hahah, THAT SUX! anyhoo, the chances of that are so tini tiny, i'd still bet/cap and repeat every street next time.

Re: AKs where do you slow down here.
 

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY, RAISE THAT FLOP!!!

*ahem*

Turn is fine, pedal to the metal on the river.

Edit: Shadow29's post is a more acceptable instance of slowplaying; but I believe you have to at least raise the turn there.
