I think playing fast works, because it is a lot easier to win small bets, than it is to win big bets. When you make raises on the turn, a lot of time, you won't get many callers, but especially in low limit poker, you will see players routinely taking one off on the flop, even if they have to coldcall.

Also, if you don't bet, or raise, you don't get the opportunity to three bet, or cap it on the flop, and a lot of the really huge pots are started with a big pile of small bets, which mean the big bets have to go in, because the apparent odds to chase are there.

Finally, if you play your big hands fast, many of your low limit opponents will fail to recognize your hand for what it is, until too late, because they would always slowplay their big hands, so by playing fast you are playing deceptively in a twisted sort of logic.

Good luck,
play well,
