Did I pick a good time to slowplay?

[OrangeKing]

After reading SSHE, I'm never quite comfortable with knowing when I should slowplay and when I should just bet out. I think I was correct here, but I'd appreciate any suggestions/comments.

I usually don't slowplay and a draw-heavy flop like that, the rest is fine, especially river.

[OrangeKing]

Yeah, that's what I was most concerned with, the flop check.

Don't slowplay if the board is both two suited and somewhat connected.

Like McQueen said, SSH says not to slowplay a suited/connected board. But your line wasn't awful just not the best one. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

He will still show a positive expectation over the long run by playing it the way he did.

It would be a mistake to look at this from a results oriented point of view.

Wrong. Not betting the flop is 100% awful.

Not enough sleep there Brad?

Reread the posts. I said you had to bet the flop.

100% agreed. Betting puts money into the pot. It is a good thing to do when you're likely to win.

How bout we just don't slowplay period. In a multiway pot, slowplaying is just horrible. Heads up there are some times for it, but not when 6 people take a flop.
