Slowplay Quiz

[krishanleong]

Assume no straight draws, you are on the button and it's checked to you. Assume it's pretty favorable conditions.

I want to know if you ever slowplay with the specified hand. Do not include really read specific instances that make slowplaying correct. I'm looking for a more general response.

The idea is that each succeeding hand is slightly stronger than the previous.

I think you need more choices to get anything of substance from the poll, specifically on the frequency of slowplaying versus sometimes or never.

I don't know, I think an all or nothing will give us a basis for conversation. All polls are flawed to some degree.

This is way, way, way too general to be answered. In particular, you have to consider pot size and the vulnerability of your top pair to overcards.

That's why I said assume a favorable situation. To try and cover stuff like this.

I thought about having hand examples, but I didn't like that idea. Something like AK on button, 1 limper, you raise and BB calls. Check to you on a K82 rainbow flop.

To spark a conversation, I don't slowplay quads on the flop. And I think it's the correct play.

but you slow sets?? This makes little sense. You are less likely to get action on quads than you are a set

I figure this would get some action. Here is the thing. My questions was too vague. With large quads, I might slowplay. Often you end up with 22-88 going quads. I play these fast because you will usually get called by overcards. Sometimes you'll get played back at by pairs or draws on the turn when you bet in LP with a monster hand.

This is disguising the hand the other way. In my trip aces hand I raise preflop and I checked the flop to feign weakness. With quads, I'll be the flop to appear to try and steal the pot.

I wish I had to changed the question to "I nearly always slowplay quads". I do slowplay quads on occation though. Raise preflop with AA, flop quads.

i don't really like slowplaying, in the sense you are talking about( the check, check type) too much. i'll do it once in a blue moon heads up.

i am much more likely to slow play (if it is considered slowplay) in the (bet, just call with intension of jacking later) variety
