Re: slowplay 200NL
let me be very clear. this was NOT a situation to slowplay.
You can ONLY slowplay when the next street might bring your opponent a card that will leave him with the second best hand.
For example, let's say you have Ks, Kh and the flop comes Kd, 3s, 8c. This MIGHT be a good time to slow play. It is very unlikely that the turn will bring a card that will put you behind.
In your case, however, there are a number of cards that can come on the turn and destroy your hand (a pairing of the board, or a diamond).
You HAVE to reraise this flop. I'd made it $75-$100 to go. (Hopefully he calls/pushes with an overpair).
If you slowplay this hand, you run a serious risk. Instead of winning a moderately sized pot, you can lose a huge one. RAISE RAISE RAISE.
