An opponent that slowplays preflop monsters

I came accross a player who limps in with pocket kings and pocket aces. He also seems to be a calling station when he has a good hand. Is the any way of defeating him. Waiting for a set perhaps?

I can't tell if this is a joke or not, but in case it isn't:

Do exactly what you planned. By slowplaying his hands, he's giving you a good price to see some flops with small suited connectors and pocket pairs to try and make a big hand. When you do make a big hand, take all his money.

The type of player you described should be extremely profitable to play against, and if you're having trouble beating him, post some hands and get some help.

Limps by different players indicate different amounts of strength. When someone limps with big hands, that means the average strength of their limps is increased. Avoid overlimping with marginal hands like KQo that rarely make more than one pair. Play speculative hands, and don't slow-play when you hit a big, disguised hand, since they are counting on you overplaying TP against them. Postflop, check behind more than normal.

Good advice Pzhon.

Remember OP, overplaying big pairs post flop is a huge leak unless you are godly at reading people for only TP.
