    Default bad slow play?

    when do you usually slow play hands? When you have the nuts? I slow played this hand and ended up getting burned. should i have bet more? check it out.

    i am dealt AKs on the button and raise 2x BB.
    couple of callers flop comes K 4 6 giving me pair of Ks and flush draw.
    Everyone checks to me so I bet minimum. Everyone folds except for one caller. Turn comes A giving me two pair. I have flush draw and top two pair now. He checks and I bet 1/4 of pot. He calls. Turn comes 4. He checks, I figure I have this in the bag with two pair and raise again. He reraises me I call only to see him turn over Q 4, giving him trip 4s.

    Now did I play this right? What would you have done?

    1.) Raise to 4xBB
    2.) Bet 1/2-3/4 pot
    3.) Bet 1/2-3/4 pot again
    4.) Make a smaller river value bet. I don't understand how he can c/r this river but oh well. Deal with it.

    weak weak weak. Not a hand to slowplay. You actually dsiguise your hand better by betting it so when the flush hits, they think they can bluff you.

    You can, it's just that every time I warn someone, I clear their sigs too. You can put it back up later and I won't do anything about it.

    Ok that "slow play", it was not a situation of slow first

    YOu should slowplay( IMO) when you have a powerful made hand. And check, do not bet the minimum or stuff like 1/4 pot~ it will get you nowhere.
