This article will address the main question of whether to slowplay or be aggressive. Probably more than once you've thought: "Hey I have the nuts! I'll let villain hit his hand and so i can get valued from him! "

It has happened me sometimes, but it is not always the proper mindset to have. I want to start by defining what slowplay is:

Slow play is when you check or call a bet in order to "under-represent" your hand compared to villain, so he may "over-play" his own hand.

Remember that to slow play, you really need to have a near-unbeatable hand, such as a set in a super dry flop, or the nut straight in a non-flush non-paired board.

Also, you cannot slow play (well you can't but will be unprofitable) against a new player who is passive. Player has to really be considered a maniac to play, because otherwise you'll get checked behind.

Duc Volpe 2c 2d

3 more players enter the pot.

Flop: 2s, 7c, 8s

In this example we see that Duc_Volpe features a set of deuces. It would be unprofitable for him to slow play here because it's a multi-way pot and it's a drawy board; it's bound to happen often that a player here may hold here a flush draw and most likely chase it until the river.

If Duc_Volpe decides to slow play here a couple of things may happen:
A new player may complete the flush with a non 7 spade and we become 22: 77 underdogs


Every one checks and Duc_Volpe loses here the right way to play the hand is to go ahead bet or check-raise. I like check-raise here as it gets more income in the pot and because I don't like to bet in front of everyone when I do not have the initiative (that is: I didn't raise preflop, but called instead).

HOWEVER....

One thing that takes place in micros with slow playing is the next: you are not going to profit much from this strategy.

People in micros like to call a bet rather than make it themselves. And it sounds logical as they're weak players who don't like to "risk money" if they do not have a hand yet, but are prepared to pay up to the river to see if they complete their hand.

So in general, being aggressive is a much better approach to take, because even in flops as dry as they can get, if people hold suited cards they may be willing to call to see if the turn brings them a draw, pokerqq or even to see if their overcard hit.

So let's wrap it up very quickly:

In order to slow play, you need both a monster hand and an aggressive player. In addition, you need to be somewhat consistent with your actions because if you've never slow played any hand, it will look extremely suspicious even to fishes that do not give consideration.

Slow playing might work if the condition above is fulfilled, otherwise, you're going to have a much easier time extracting value out of your monsters by playing the hand straight-forwardly. Understand that people in micros want to call more than they prefer to bet!

All the best At The Tables!
