Slowplaying In A Small Pot...


Recommended Posts

flop: you missed a value bet. utg limped so there's no guarantee he'll bet in position (although most people do). Protect your hand and represent strengthturn: wtf? bet itttttttttttt. I don't understand what you're waiting for. You're getting too fancy or too passive here.

I hate this play. You don't slow play a hand this vulnerable. Bad, bad bad.

If you never slowplayed a pair of 7's for the rest of your poker career, you would be just fine.Bet the flop.Bet the turn.Never assume a limper is going to bet for you.--CM

Certainly my standard play would be to lead the flop. But, if your read suggest that villain is likely to bet with nothing if checked to, then I don't mind checking the flop (with the intention of check/raising).On the turn, if I was against the type of opponent I'd check the flop against, I'd probably check again. I don't like the turn check/raise, though. Villain's not folding a ten or better, and he's not calling otherwise (unless he has a flush draw). If villain has something else, he likely has no more than 4-5 outs. The pot is small, so it's not a disaster if he spikes a free card, and it's great if we can drag another bet out of him on the river (if we're ahead). I'd just call, and look to check/call most river cards that don't improve us.
