Re: slowplay QQ on QJ3r?
Whether or not to slow play is really a 2 part question and both answers have to be yes.
1. Is the board appropriate and is my hand strong enough. For this particular hand the answer is a marginal yes. You have top set and there are no major draws (QJ could be the makings of a straight, as T9 and KT are two hands people like to play at these limits).
2. Will betting cause them to fold?
That's the part you have to use your reads for. If they will call a bet go ahead and bet. Slow playing only works in theory if they would fold to a bet now but not to a bet on a later street.
