yeah, he made the str8 with A3o

Hand 1 is a very easy board to hit. When Villain folds, he has something like 75o. Betting is the best way to max EV.

the only time you should ever slowplay is when you know for sure that if you raise the player will fold, and had no way of catching up to you.

[paperboyNC]

At low limits, I think you should only "slowplay" when:

- you have position
- you are just waiting 'til the turn to raise.

Straightforward play usually makes the most money in small-stakes limit poker.

In the second hand you raised before the flop, your opponents will never give you credit for a king. Just bet the flop, watch them call, call, call and smile.

ever notice that person with 1.5 AF that 3bets you in the sb, only to check the Jxx flop... guess who has two jacks in his hand
