I don't get it. Where did anyone milk or slowplay? Or, I guess you're saying that by not slowplaing, you were smart? I mean you got all-in on the flop with the temporary nuts. Whats the strategy question? I'm confused and feel like I am the butt of the joke. Are you saying by fastplaying you got your money in well ahead, whereas by slowplaying he would a gotten his money in only when the he hit is lfush? OK....enough guesses for me...i'm still confused.EDIT: ok, now that I see in your "flush draw chasers" post that you are just posting hands you thought you played well and do not actually want any strategy input....cool. You do seem laike a good player and its good input, but I still don't get your point on this one since you didn't reveal opponents hand....but........Good Job!!!.....

he didnt have a flush draw.I was just pointing out that slow playing as a strategy is about the worst thing you can do. Most the time playing fast and giving lots of action , then also playing fast on your big hands will net the most money, thats my strat in the hand im not just posting it because i wanted to show off. i posted to show what i think about milking small bets off a big hand. But "congrats" on your sarcasm. BTW i never post hand results, they dont matter

so if someone raises. and you re-raise PF with AA and the flop is A72 and he checks. You should bet?!?!?!considering the only thing he'll really call with is AK, AQ, AJ, or 77youre wrong.slowplaying sometimes is a good strategy

Slowplaying is good when used right, like every other strategy in poker.
