Default Re: slowplay QQ on QJ3r?

[ QUOTE ]
There are absolutely times to slowplays sets.

This is absolutely not the time.

You raised preflop. People expect you to bet. They won't believe you have QQ. They will think you have AK. Now they raise. Now you reraise. Now you make money.

Jake is smart. Listen to him. When you are the last aggressor pre-flop and you hit a monster, that is exactly the time you shouldn't slowplay. In fact, slowplaying and waking up on the turn often kills all your action.

And, honestly, slow-playing is usually lame. When I'm at a table where someone makes a bad slowplay and costs themselves a lot of money, it makes me feel dirty and embarassed. Slowplaying too much is the acne of poker adolescence.
