The beauty of slowplay

[pyroponic]

I'd mini-raise the flop (which is as much as i'd "slow play" this type of hand), when the second ten on the turn came raise to the pot size (or even more).

[Wayfare]

Bet the flop at least $15. People convincing themselves that there is no way you would fast-play a flush are your friend.

On a normal non-pairing board I often pot the flop, check the turn, and overbet the river.

See why?

the slowplay on the flop is fine. You have 38 outs to the pure nuts and still have a strong hand if the board pairs. When the board does pair its probably time to stop slowplaying and bet. Once the river ten comes it's all over.you check and he'd prolly show down a smaller flush hoping you were drawing to a bigger one (As) When the bet does come from him it seems just wishful thinking to hope hes bluffing-- any pair beats you! To try to prevent this situation(the board double pairing or tripping up) from occurring in the first place by deviating from optimal play is a form of monday morning QBing-- LOTS of times you'll still have the pure nuts when all the cards are out and will be in a most pleasurable spot to make terrific money or bust someone. AND sometimes when the board double pairs or trips up it ruins the action of ur opp when he has you beat on the turn(full house) A strong player knows with utmost confidence(not merely hopes)that these opportunities will repeat over and over. He will get the money especially at NL

Well. To make it look like a bluff?

I guess I got too caught up with the fact that I raised before the flop and feared everyone would go away, if someone else had raised I would have bet that flop hoping for a raise.

I think that's one of those hands that will stick with you for a while, but I'm certain I learnt a lot from it.

that's a good line against a LP. if you run into a LAG/TAG, try:
pot flop, bet weak on turn (maybe 2/3 what you bet on the flop) and 2/3 pot on river. i really really like the betting pattern of betting less than your flop bet on the turn if you really want a raise. people almost always play draws like this and aggro/maniacs love to raise you there.
