Introduction
In this Article- When can you slowplay?
- On which Boards can you slowplay?
- Against who can you slowplay?
Slowplay is a strategic element that is useful to have in your arsenal, and can, in specific situations, increase your profit. Yet it is generally overrated by beginning and semi-advanced players, since especially on the lower limits, aggressive play is often the most profitable course of option.
This article will therefore deal with the topic of slowplay. It'll show you in which situations tricky plays make sense and in which situations you should simply play straightforward. Using several examples the article will demonstrate on what type of boards and against what type of opponents passive slowplay will yield more profit than aggressive play. This is also the key message of the article: being tricky and slowplaying is pointless if simply raising and betting will earn you more money.
