$55: Is this guy obviously slowplaying?
First hand of $55 tourney. Anything I should have done differently? I felt that his cold call on the flop was suspicious so I just gave up.

Not sure!
I've made this play a lot of times. This is a very good and sophisticated type of bluff. People always get scared of that type of play. Thought, I would fold too! He could have the 6 or mabey a bigger pair. (for some reason, some people like to slowplay AA or KK) No matter what, if he had the 6 he would go allin on the river. |

Re: $55: Is this guy obviously slow playing?
It certainly would be a very sophisticated bluff. To make this play he would have to assume
1) I was paying attention enough to see him cold call the raise on the flop 2) I noticed his smallish raise on the Turn 3) that I was capable of laying down a hand with a Jack 4) that I don't have a 6 myself Given all those factors I discounted the bluff and assumed he was legit. |

I'm going with slowplaying. This would be a great bluff, but during the first hand MP1 has absolutely no read on you.

How is betting the flop calling a raise, raising the turn, considered slowplaying?

I would fold after being raised on the turn. In all honesty once you are cold called I immediately would feel like there are good chances Im behind. |

Re: $55: Is this guy obviously slowplaying?
I agree that he is playing this like he has a six. But what are his likely holdings? The only hands I can see possibly containing a 6 after limping MP are A6s, 67s, 56s. All of these would be pretty loose, no?
Could he possibly be playing 88, 99, TT this way? I think it is unlikely, because he would be more inclined to re-raise the flop than waiting for the turn. If calling guaranteed a showdown then I would call, however I probably fold this. Any comments on this possible holdings? |
