Re: Abandoning the slow play (TD 2-7)
[ QUOTE ]
You played this hand terribly, but I managed to play it worse. How many times does someone fold here for 2 small bets (especially given the preflop action)? 1/4 of the time? [/ QUOTE ] I did not consider the pot size. You are right that a fold is unlikely here. [ QUOTE ] Also, you're making it so that you're not ever getting raised on the later streets (which is worth a lot more than one small bet). [/ QUOTE ] The smooth call is not to get a small bet here (I could get that by raising the original better) it's to pick up a big bet the next round. Certainly the call/3-bet line will scare off later-street raises, but the original call can play like a scared 8 (as long as I remember to actually play some scared 8s that way vs observant opponents.)

Re: Abandoning the slow play (TD 2-7)
If people put you on a rough hand, they're just more likely to freeze you on a hand. If they put you on a wheel, they fold. And you're arguing this will increase the amount of action you're going to get in future rounds.
On top of that, you need to consider the metagame.
