Fish love to wait till the turn to push their sets

I love this reply, it clarifies the uncertainty of slowplaying enormously for me.

On certain tight tables though, I still think I like slowplaying even with available gutshots because it makes me very sad when I raise the flop, everyone folds and I scrape a meager pot. I'd rather take the chance of letting others draw thin and try win a bigger pot. I think the risk is worth it in certain situations.
