It's been said before: "The hand that CAN beat you WILL beat you."

Of course, you don't want to always be seeing "Monsters under the bed", but the more poker you play, the more you'll realize that it usually pays to play your strong hands fast, unless you have an absolute monster, which you don't here. There are just too many ways 7 cards can beat you.

I mean, I might occasionally play top 2-pair slow, but it's not my default. I'd have to have a reason for it.

Yeah...not the best flop for 'slow' playing...

I don't see those pesky monsters under the bed...I easily intentionally ignore them...but they sure felt present in this hand...

I guess this is one of the classic 'win small lose big hands' ...?

Play it more aggressively and it's win small, win big... and lose to a donk 10% of the time when he sucks out.
