Default Re: how long to slowplay monster hi/no low draw?

This is pretty subjective based on opponents, which you seem to already know. This happened to me just the night before last at Stars, when I was wedged in between two very aggressive players who were doing a lot of raising and reraising. I basically play the hand the way I feel will suck the most out of them, while not scaring them off of the hand.

A runner-runner low draw obviously changes the outlook somewhat on the turn. If you feel that an opponent may actually go for something like a RR low, you have to adjust your betting to make him pay the maximum to get there. He may feel that he has a "decent" high, so he has to see the river, who knows. I have seen players play so badly that it is baffling. These are the same type players who try to convince me that T5 is the best hand in HE, because it can make "all of the straights." I just sit at the table, smiling and nodding at their obviously superior play.
