pokerroom.com – Just a few moments ago I was involved in a pot with (Q,10) online which was unraised before the flop. The flop came down (10,Q,Q) which really couldn’t have got much better for me.

There were four players in the pot, and so I checked. For me, it would be very foolish to bet, because firstly, it is the sort of flop that players will put out a tester bet on to see if they can pick the pot up. Secondly, I am holding most of the cards that would interest anyone in calling anyway, so better to let them hit their hand, especially if they have two high cards that could hit a straight draw.

It is very unlikely that I will get outdrawn by the end of the hand of course, and so I could afford to check again on the turn when it came as a 6. One of the players raised the pot $1.50 at this point, and I reraised to $3 after theatrically thinking for a while. I was hoping to extract some chips from the hand and hoped my opponent had caught some part of the board. I was shocked when she reraised to $8 of course, and wondered if she might have (6,6) in the hole. I reraised again to $16, and she shoved all in.

As it turned out, we had both been slowplaying our hands. She had (K,Q) for three queens which was very fortunate for me, but had she had something different, I gave her a chance to hit any straight draw or pair a card, knowing it was very unlikely I would be outdrawn. Your play on the flop should depend on the danger to your hand, but if there is hardly any danger, by all means slow play your hand and give your opponents the chance to catch up a little.
