Re: Why do I always feel the need to slowplay....
Slowplaying this draw heavy board against two players in the early stages of a tournament is suicidal.

Re: Why do I always feel the need to slowplay....
of course.....
Is there any way I could have gotten away from this at the river, or did I already dig my own grave by that point? |

There's no way I'm putting anyone on a spade flush. The cards I worry about after the flop and flop action are diamonds, 9's, T's, and A's. Not baby running spades. |

Re: Why do I always feel the need to slowplay....
because slow play feels sooooooooo good when it works.
My refrain is: I love to slow play I just hate the results I'm getting better, I never let two suited cards on the flop have a cheap draw, and a couple of high cards on the flop end the slow stuff. Now short handed and HU......is another story. |

[ QUOTE ] Yeah, think the flop is too coordinated to slowplay. [/ QUOTE ] More importantly, there is already a bet and a raise. You should have no fear of getting action. [/ QUOTE ] exactly, there is a time and a place to slowplay but good god against four opponents on a suited and connected flop gimme a break |

Slowplaying will not make your teeth whiter, your vision sharper, or your di*k longer - and it VERY seldom makes your bankroll bigger.
Most overrated move in poker, I think.....(but yeah, it feels sooooooooooo good when it works...) |

Re: Why do I always feel the need to slowplay....
That is the type of situation i definitly wouldn't slow play or give free cards. There are several flush possibilities out there and also a straight possibility as well. Trips queens is a hand very, very hard to throw away, which basically means your committing yourself. Calling an all in with trips, against a flsuh possiblity is a hard call to make, especially when it may involve your entire stack.
Anyone still in the pot after a raise on preflop is likly to either have kings or on the flush draw. The only way you know if someone has made a flush, or is on a flush draw is by betting. You need to figure out people by betting. A bet to find out where you are will save you many more bets on the turn or on the river. If someone is going to make a flush, make them pay for it. Slow playing trips queens in this situation will provide you with more problems. I would only slow play trips queens, if there is no flush possibilities out there, and also no high straight possibilities....provided a raise was made preflop to decrease the possibility of a small straight. You learn from experience, you really should only slow play when you have a massive advantage. If you are going to slow play, be pre pared to get away from the hand and fold if you suspect you are beaten. |
