One helluva slow play

    Default One helluva slow play

    Just finished a 5-man 33 at paradise. Key hand, blinds at 15/30, no one out yet.

    UTG (1000)
    SuperSlowPlaya(1750)
    AllinFreak(500)
    SB(750)
    Hero(1000)

    UTG folds
    SuperSlowPlaya calls 30
    AllinFreak calls 30
    SB folds
    Hero (AcTc) raises 180 to 210
    SuperSlowPlaya calls 210
    AllinFreak raises all-in for 500
    Hero raises all-in for 1000
    SuperSlowPlaya calls

    Pot: 2500

    SuperSlowPlaya shows AA
    AllinFreak shows Q9o

    Result: hero flops the flush draw, and 2 more clubs fall for the nut flush.
    Hero wins 2500 and goes on to take second after UTG knocks out the other 2 a couple orbits later.

    I was thinking, very patient, brilliant slow play. AllinFreak had gone all in preflop 4 of the last 5 hands, and I had pulled the BB big raise after limpers a couple times already. So chances were good that either AllinFreak would go all-in, and if not, that I would raise. Then, after I raised, he smooth-called, expecting an allin from AllinFreak. I, of course, have to iso-raise, and he gets to play a huge pot with AA 3-way with a side pot. I was impressed. I didn't notice this guy slowplay during the tournament other than this. Definitely knew when to do it.

    I probably wouldn't raise in your spot, especially with the OOP considerations.

    If I did raise, I would probably only raise to 100 or so, 210 is too much of your stack.

    Nice hand though.

    All 100 will do is bloat the pot. Maybe 150, but since you're OOP 200 makes sure they are serious about their hands.

    It is an interesting hand.
