You've got position, so at this stage of the hand I would continue with the slow play and hope he hits something on the river. If he doesnt bet at it after the river.....make a moderate bet to posture as though you didnt hit your hand, and you're now trying to steal the pot. It may not work, but since you set the trap.....you might as well see if it can catch something.

Congratulations! You have inspired me to try this at some point. I just don't know how I would get started. I have a couple of obstacles in my way. One, I have very limited time to play. Two, I would need to build an account without my wife knowing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It aint all about luck.

I'm new here, but I didn't see a new users intro thread so I might as well jump in here. I thought the Small Ball strategy was all about opportunity. You are trying to get into a hand with as little bet/risk as possible. If you can make a hand then you got something to work with. If you don't then you just fold and don't lose much. It's also why I never fold when I have the check available. I may be behind and recognize it, but you never know when you'll hit runner, runner and be the guy delivering the bad beat. I don't have much experience, but I would presume this doesn't fly much in
