Don\'t get cute preflop example - low content
 

Remember the time you were playing against the villian who slowplayed Aces on you? You were cool about it and just thought to yourself, "someday that's going to come around and bite him." Well, last night it bit someone.

Nice hand. You flop g00t!

When are people going to learn that you almost NEVER need to slowplay at these lower limits. People are so willing to pay you off with junk, just hammer away with your good hands.

If you just win the blinds, so what? There will plenty of times later where you're more than happy to just take down the blind(s) when you open raise your K4s from the SB...

Would you be posting this if the river paired the 3 and you got hosed?

Slowplaying aces is fine if you can fold them.
