Country: USA #708154.SV Join the Fire with this cool Chicago Fire tee from adidas. Even if you never walk on to the field at Toyota Park, you can still be a part of the Chicago Fire squad. 100% cotton. Imported.Basically, here's a list of hands that a person might slow-play:
- They've flopped their set.
- They've nailed their flush.
- They've nailed their straight.
- They've flopped two pair.
- They've booked up.
When slow playing, you must note what is actually on the board! I've seen far too many players bust their hand by slow playing their set, or their two pair, when there's a flush draw on the board. Observe. Check to see if there are hands that have a reasonable chance of beating you:
- Is there a flush draw out there?
- A straight draw?
- If you've flopped a flush holding two low cards, you've got to keep in mind that other people are still drawing to a higher flush.
You must not overvalue your hand; it's great you've flopped your set with your pocket pair, but you cannot slow play it if there's a potential flush out there. It's just not safe betting. You're letting people draw cheaply - is your hand strong enough?
A great time to slow-play:
- You've flopped the nuts (or a very strong hand.. i.e. 7d, 7s or Kd, Kh)
- There are minimal draws on the board. (3d, 7h, Ks)
- The pot is small.
- You want your opponents to catch up a bit. You're so far ahead that it is very unlikely they will catch up completely.
Hopefully another player has caught a pair of kings and will call you down, but you want to check this one out and let others improve their hands so that they bet and they think they're ahead.
A bad time to slow-play:
- You've flopped your set. (Hole cards: 2s, 2d)
- The flop holds 2 suited cards, and they're also connected. (7d, 8d, 2h)
- The pot is large, and there are still 4 other players in it.
What will happen in the latter example is that people have great odds to call with their drawing hands, so you must be careful even when betting aggressively. Just don't slow play!
Don't overvalue your hand!
