he didnt have a chance to slow play because they bet into him. or did you mean because he didnt check with the 3 sixes after flop. he did only have a 3 as a kicker.somebody could have easily had A-6 suited and stayed at preflop for a $1.

The HERO in the hand was me this morning on Party. I had played three orbits with these guys before this hand came up and the raiser & the shortstack were both slowplaying AA, KK, QQ, JJ.

My point is ShortStack should have re-raised me out pre-flop, instead he smooth called the $0.50 raise which cost him a pot he should have won.

And you are correct my biggest threat was anyone with a six and a big kicker as a J6, Q6, K6, A6 would have doomed me. A TT, 88, T6 or 86 would also take my money unfortunately I can't worry about every possible hand.

But I like to gamble and converting 36o into three sixes out of the big blind even with a bad kicker is about as good a hand as one can hope for. You can't always flop da nuts.

I luv to slo play As and Ks. Can get hurt sometimes, but when it works it is sweeeeeet. YOu just get more callers with slow play.
