    Default Interesting, Slowplay anyone?

    PokerStars 0.05/0.10 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with , . MP3 posts a blind of $0.05. CO posts a blind of $0.05.
    UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero raises, MP3 (poster) calls, CO (poster) calls, 2 folds, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls.

    Flop: (13.40 SB) , , (6 players)
    BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, MP3 folds, CO calls, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 folds.

    Turn: (8.70 BB) (4 players)
    BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, CO raises, BB folds, UTG calls, Hero 3-bets, CO caps, UTG calls, Hero calls.

    River: (20.70 BB) (3 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets, CO raises, UTG folds, Hero 3-bets, CO caps, Hero calls.

    Final Pot: 28.70 BB

    Results in white below:
    Hero has Ac As (three of a kind, aces).
    CO has Ah 7c (two pair, aces and sevens).
    Outcome: Hero wins 28.70 BB.


    Ok, Maybe I should have posted this in the Glory section. But right after this hand i realized that if CO hadnt slowplayed his Two Pair, I might have lost a couple bets here since the others may have folded.

    In this and other similar situations, do you, or do you not want people slow playing?

    EDIT: IN this case, with my PF raise, if the field had been little smaller, he may have been correct to Slow, but knowing this limit, SLowplaying is almost never correct. Right after the hand, I thought there were more players calling after the CO, so I thought the impact was greater. But the Theory still holds.

    top set, nuts til the river let them all chase, 7 outs to the flush and 2 diamonds that will cost their stupid asses a fortune when they hit. one of the few scenarios where Aces will win you a big pot

    There could be an alternate theory here...Instead of CO slowplaying, he could have been playing scared due to the possible flush draw, especially with 3 other players in after the flop. Then after the river came up blank on the diamond flush, he felt like his 2 pair was the best thing going.

    Then again, it is St. Patrick's day and he was probably drunk.
