2/4 NL I like to slowplay

[McStinky]

Villian seems to be a decent player. I've been having trouble with these situations lately. I raise infrequently (and so does everyone else), so then my raises are perceived as super strong, so I slowplay instead, which is probably still the worse option oftentimes.

What the [censored] dude. Raise the flop, he'll easily push with AK[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]/AQ[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]/KQ[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] maybe even any Ax[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. On top of that, he'll definitely call with QQ+ if not 3-bet because it's a really connected board.

And when he checks the turn, bet the damn thing.

Err... flat calling preflop and on the flop is bad enough, but I guess you can make a case for trapping. The turn is even worse: why would you ever check it through? Do you pretty much never bet?

Raise teh hell out of that flop. If he has an overpair, he is done. AKs would be great as he would sure push that. I would raise that flop up to 100 or so. Not a board to slow play. Even if you dont raise flop, you have to bet that turn. There are quite a few cards you dont want to see on that river. So if you call that flop, you have to make a pot sized bet on that turn.

If you want to trap, better line...lead the flop, call his raise and check raise the hell out of the turn.
