    I suspect that this is pretty standard, but thought about CRAI-ing the flop and if he checks then firing on the turn b/c slowplaying goes up in value with low eff. stacks.
    Also I usually v-bet/c-bet more on the flop, just trying to mix it up a little cause it would be pretty transparent if I always c-bet less when I didn't hit.

    If you want you're cbets to be given credit you have to bet this flop 99% of the time. If you never cbet (a mistake) then a c/r would be better.
    Slow playing top pair is a really bad idea.

    yeah sorry I tried to mean something like deceptive plays cause C/Ring is not usually considered slowplaying...
    I c-bet a lot by the way (I would guess around 85-90%)

    C/r here if you know he'll bet, if you're not sure though, this is how you do it.

    No hindsight for the blind.
    Don't worry about balancing against players that you'll never see again. I like slowplaying against a random shortie here.

    hmmmm contradictory advices, maybe I should make a poll :P
    "do you slowplay against random shortstacks with APTK?"
