slow playing a monster hand

edited May 2011 in Poker Chat
             i find slow playing a huge hand on sky ,tends to end in disaster .Not having a go at sky ,but just stating what ive experienced over the years ,playing on here .                                                                  I am much more wiser to it now these days  ,and tend  to get away from my hand ,when im behind ,usually on the river .                                                        Flopping a set ,on a dry board ,is perfect for trapping ,but time and time again ,the turn ,makes the board really wet ,flush draw ,and str8 draw ,its funny how one card can change every thing ,and then the river,you just know they have got there .                                                      For me ,giving free cards is not a good thing to do ,no matter how far ahead you are, its got a nasty habit of catching up on you ,and biting you on your asss .                                                                I do tend to bet out these days ,my philosophy is "BET WHEN YOUR AHEAD ,REGARDLESS OF HOW STRONG YOU ARE "                                        anyone one else agree ?

                       Had to fold 2 sets tonight in mtt ,blinds were small ,everybody calling ,just knew they got there on the river .                                                 Folding 2 sets ,takes some doing ,going back a few years ago ,i probably would have done my stack .                                             Im glad ive learned from my mistakes ,puting players on a hand ,was non existent to me a few years back ,i was only looking at my cards .                                     the longer we play ,the more we learn ....TEN

    Yes..... I agree, mostly.....

    Flopping a set with high......cards on board..... is the only time I'll slow play.....

    .... Why the silly writing? Isn't it enough that Wales has a ridiculous language.....

    Without confusing us with......s and italics?

    How long has it taken you to figure out that it's a good idea to bet strong hands?

    ;)

    ive began to learn its better to take down a small pot while ahead, then lose a big one once behind!
