now - the good thing here is that if you successfully pull off a slow play then in the future it allows you to slow-play-bluff (some situations its called a float, or float-bluff depending on how you define these terms - to me floating isntt necessarily a bluff) where you call every bet, then if your opponent checks on the river you make a big bet and hope he folds - but the board must fit your story or they will snap you off
