Slow play or fast play?

BTN limped, I opened SB. Flop checked through.

When BTN min raises turn, he has a lot of Qx? Maybe Axdd with gut shot?

Reasons to 3bet: We're deep, he'll probably call, I'm OOP.

Reasons to just call: Hopefully he'll boat up/ hit a flush? Will he value bet river?

3b and give him a chance to put a lot of money in bad


I make it 30-35bb i think. When he can just call, he's not very likely to have a hand that doesn't want to go to showdown, and when he does, he's always folding to the bigger bet too. Think we have a few bluffs in this spot too and not much other value, which we can just bet-call to induce more bluffs.


Stop slow playing in small pots and at 150bbs or less.

Biggest leak of recs

Put money in the pot with your strong hands.

We slow play in pots that are already hyper inflated and have small SPRs, not the other way around.
