Slow-play...what's that?

[Detroitjunky]

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

However, lots of people confuse the slow-play with the slow-roll. Slow-rolling is considered to be terribly rude. Slow-rolling is when, at the end of the action, when you know you have the winning hand, you wait a long time to turn your cards over, giving your opponent the feeling that he has a chance. Or to throw one card out that implies a weak hand, but then throw out the winner.

If you've won the hand, just show your cards and let it be known - don't rub it in.

I liked to give a little warning watch out slow playing monster preflops like AA from early position,you limp at loose table you end with 4 callers one of them is liable to hit a monster flop making your hand no good.

Yes , slow play is a good part of the game . Its how alot of players get paid in big pots ! But yes there's also rude way to slow play... What i was gonna say a cpl already have here n there . So you should get it now ... Good luck at the tables bro

Slow playing AA or KK preflop can get you into a lot of trouble. Especially in early position, if you limp with those kinds of monsters and about 3 or 4 others limp in behind you, you're probably already in trouble after the flop because someone else probably got lucky with 2 pair, or they may have flopped a str8 or a great str8 or flush draw and now you've priced them in to hit that draw.

another thing to consider is different poker lingo from different regions.

i guess so - and i suppose some people define variables in different ways as well - but i slow play when its a playable move - which is whenever i have the best hand of the players and an aggressive player is betting into me - but to be fair i have folded after slowplaying too - knowing i was eventually beat - its a risk but with big rewards
