Re: Slow play with Aces?
in my opinion, there are too many ways the hand can go bad when you are up against multiple opponents to slow play a big PP too far. the smooth call here may be ok, but what if there's no raise? do you just limp in?
i feel like a two-street slow play here is too much, and you are just asking to finish up the hand kicking yourself when you don't flop the set, or in this case when QJ turns his straight or the flush draw comes in without pairing the board.
maybe i'm just still smarting from trying to be tricky last night and limping with KK, only to be crushed by J7 in the BB flopping a straight. but in my book slowplaying through a turn check raise is just waiting too long, especially with a less favorable board than seen in this hand. it worked well here, but i don't think you would have made much less by showing some aggression.
