slowing playing big pocket pairs.

kkclub

Simple question is slow playing big pocket pairs good play or bad playing, while playing on sky tonight in mtt's
got caught twice by someone playing k's @ a's slow,On both times this put me out of tourne.

Like everything it depends on stack size, image etc

In general dont slowplay though, just get money in the pot when you have a big hand

dont do it simples

If you have a good sense of OP range on a dry board, believing he'll pay you off with a defined weaker hand is fine. 

But over the long haul you'll get less money in any pot with the slow play.

slow playing AA, KK is becoming a new trend i believe but this is one argument against doing it

Seems more like he was hoping from a raise with the limp utg pre, rather than the slow play.  New trend???

yeah a new trend, if this player was hoping for a raise on the pre then he has read the table awfully bad as the table was very safe with very few raises pre with a reasonable amount of limping into a raised pot.

by new trend iv noticed alot more players are slow playing AA & KK, just flat calling all the way and trying to get the money in on the river.

another trend iv noticed is players starting to limp/shove pre-flop and this play baffles me no end
