A couple of hands

[Fryguy]

Some hands from my second 1/2 session. Still getting acquainted with the new play style, namely people check/raising aggressors a lot more.

Opp is 12.1/0/5

Checked the flop to hopefully induce a bet on the turn, which worked. Is this acceptable slowplay on a ragged board like this?

opp is 32/16/6

When I got c/r'd on the turn, I had NO read as to what my opponent had. Semi-bluffing a flush draw doesn't seem reasonable, only other possibilities were a set or 2-pair. I 3-bet at the time because quick thinking made me think he only had a J and I thought he thought I might have been playing overcards aggressively.

Hand 1: Fastplay is the new slowplay...just bet the flop
Hand 2: I fold as well, nh
Hand 3: Meh...Against this dude I'm raising...I'd expect him to c/r with a frush, but I'm confused

[hemstock]

Bet the flop in hand 1. There is absolutely no need to slowplay.
I fold the second hand as well. You are most propably ahainst an Ace and you are heads up. Fold
I play it exactly the way you did and except to be shown a misplayed flush.

[Paxosmotic]

It's an acceptable slowplay. They're very unpopular around here, but all the criteria were met and you squeezed .5bb out of him that you wouldn't have. Oh and I don't 3-bet the turn in the last hand.
