Default Re: Another 3-6 Empire hand - how many bets did I miss?

I found your hand interesting because I've been in that situation many times and I have to post this. I liked your checking and calling on the flop, and check raise on the turn and think that you played it right, and here's why. Slow playing is great to get extra bets when you have a strong hand, but that MP2 Player that called, what if he was holding pocket queens, slowed down because of the ace on the flop. You just call rather than raise on the turn, and he decides to call one bet on the turn just cause he's in this far, and nails his two outer. Unlikely? its happened to me before, and I never over do my slow plays any more. The turn is the time to start getting people to drop, or you risk losing what should be a cinch hand.

To sum up, like your play, don't get too fancy. Think you played it for best value without risking getting sucked out on.
