Oh yeah, the only time you should slow play would be a flopped monster. Check it and hope someone helps their hand.

Yeah, think the flop is too coordinated to slowplay. Granted...the wrong suit comes ultimately. Still, a diamond, or any J, T or A and you don't know where your trips stand.

Just don't slowplay anymore unless the situation is PERFECT. Flopping a set does not give you licsence to slowplay. I believe that lower limit players lose a lot by slowplaying too often without any logic behind their play.

Really it's a disease, so many people I've coached just slowplay blindly everytime they have something good. I basically tell them never to slowplay again no matter what, and that when they get more advanced then they can learn when to slowplay.

Your opponents are stupid and they call with many hands they shouldnt. This should make it obvious why slowplaying is generally such a poor idea.

Excellent! I realise now that slow playing is a huge leak in my game.

More importantly, there is already a bet and a raise. You should have no fear of getting action.
