Here we have a prime example of why you DONT reraise with overs, no one EVER believes you have that overpair! Check it out..

The high card bet: I wasnt actually bluffing here, I just read him for a hand that completely missed that board and figured my AK was good.. sure enough..

In this hand, I dont even need to raise to figure out if my opp has a hand or not, I simply call and wait to see how he acts. He checked on the turn, signalling weakness, and I made my move causing a fold.

This shows when its appropriate to slowplay: namely when your opponent is drawing dead, and cant let go of any pair he picks up!
