I know as a general rule you DON'T slow play aces.. But this is poker and sometimes the situation calls for it.

The table was tight, alot of folds to 2x / 3x raises I took alot of blinds and had trouble getting any callers with a 2x raise..

3 hands before this one Player 1 was the chip leader, I hit him hard with a set of 10's to jump into the lead. He went all in on the next two hands (everyone folded). When I saw these I knew i had to let him move all in for the blinds again.
