As you know most of you today when many players have a good place right after the flop, play in slow play, that is trying to the opposing team think they have nothing in hand to get it as much as possible in the pot! However, sometimes this way of playing can be risky because it gives the opponent the opportunity to build a great hand at a minimum price .. Then we discover how and when to play slow-play ..
We start from an example to understand better:
sietein late position, a raise from early position player. You tapped your cards and see a pair of 8 and decide to call.
The flop is absolutely perfect: Qh 8h 2d. Do you have your set with the woman on the table the possibility that your opponent has something - maybe AQ, maybe pair of kings or aces. He bet on the flop.
Many players would call just in case, hoping that their opponent bets again on the turn.
I do not think you need to worry especially that color can beat your set. You might be beaten by a flush draw even if you raise.
However, be aware that a third of the effect on hearts table can have on your opponent. Might suspect that were you to have a flush draw, so you might not want to bet more money on this hand even if he had a pair of Aces.
In fact, a K, a J, 10, 9, or any card that couples face with the board tend to stop your opponent. If he bets the turn and you raise, you shall be signaling that the turn has helped you. And 'as if he were saying that you liked the flop enough to call and the turn improved your hand in some way. You're announcing that you can beat the couple.
So if your opponent bet the flop with Qh 8h 2d and you raise, you might think that yours is a semi-bluff, a raise on a flush draw. At that point, it might feel compelled to protect his hand with a large re-raise, or even an all-in. When this happens, you bring home a monster pot.
Okay even if you raise the flop and you do not get the result you wanted. You might have scared someone who had pocket jacks, or AK, but you would not, however, made great money with hands like this. And if you come across Ah, Jh could lose a big pot against the color.
Certainly there are times when slow play is the best choice. If you flop something like a color or full of Q, you'll want to give your opponent the chance to improve his position on the turn or river
But often the best option is to play aggressively on the flop. Could be your only chance to win a big pot with a big hand.
