What do you think about it? Your articles say to always play made hands agressively, but it just didn't make sense in this case. I was so high ahead of anything that if someones hand improved, it would only benefit me (as it did). Even so, the other guy made a pretty big error when he called my bet on the turn, then I got lucky, and he completed his flush.

This is actually an interesting spot because opponents won't hold overpairs and would be reluctant to call with smaller pairs with a king showing so there really are very few hands that can call a bet on the flop knowing that two kings and three nines are already accounted for, but in general it's fine to just lead out with a hand even as strong as flopped full house. I'd probably lead out here anyway, but it seems slowplaying worked better this time. Nh.


Slow playing that was a good ideea, you will almost always have the best hand there, the only thing that could of beaten you was KK, so in some situation slow playing a hand is good, because people will try to steal the pot or hit a good hand on the turn or river and bet.


nh, I´d also check flop, since most of the times people doesn´t really have anything and you hold basically the nuts, so you don´t really afraid any cards, unless it is smt like A, A but even then I think you gain more by checking than betting.
Turn and river play is also fine. I would only make it bigger on the river after he raises me to 0.3$, since I think he would call also 1$ 3-bet, but won´t really shove always if you make it 0.7$
