Default Never slowplay a monster to the river...

One of the first lessons I learned from a book about poker was to never slowplay a monster until the river. Even if they catch something the will not pay you off if the pot is nothing. This hand almost proof me wrong, except for the fact that I was extremely lucky and won the pot from the player with "the monster hand". Anyway, this is a kind of useless post, but I was just so chocked that 4 players at 6 max was going all-in with a scary board like that. Hahaha, sometimes you just love the crazy action at pp NL25.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

SB ($41.22)
BB ($25.35)
Hero ($24.75)
MP ($24)
CO :#A500AF(Villian)/ ($25.81)
Button ($37.33)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
Hero calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25, CO :#A500AF(Villian)/ calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($1.25) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $0.25</font>, BB folds, Hero calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25, Villian calls $0.25.

Turn: ($2.25) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $0.25</font>, Hero calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25, Villian calls $0.25.

River: ($3.25) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $15</font>, Hero calls $24 (All-In), MP calls $23.25 (All-In), Villian calls $25.06 (All-In), SB calls $10.06.

Final Pot: $100.62

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
SB has Qs 8s (straight, queen high).
Hero has Jc Jd (full house, jacks full of tens).
MP has Ah 8d (straight, jack high).
Villian has 7h Th (full house, tens full of sevens).
Outcome: Hero wins $98.50. Villian wins $2.12. </font>

I guess I had kind of good implied odds.
