Last night i was playing a Sit & go Hero at $3.00 for a prize of $12.00.
I was HU chip leader wit a good margin the other guy raised almost all hand and i could not go for it until i got A A so i decided to just limp he called the flop come another A i just wait to him to make a move and i made one i shoved but he had it a straight and i lost this hand and after no cards and lost the game.
So sorry to hear that bro i know the fealing and cause of that so called slow play i lost in 2 turnys today - one is depositors freeroll 4 10$ TT and other Dubble Deuce on FT. iM never doing it again and next time im gona hit em with everything i got.
Keep ya head up and better luck next time
------------ At least i won 10$ ring game just a second ago

... < You don't know what he would have done if you shoved pinotte...so don't beat yourself up...!
... < I ALWAYS slow play the aces to get maximum extraction from the victims...and win the hand one way or another most of the time!
,,, < But when it comes to KK or QQ,....no question,....I shove almost every time, but HAVE folded for the better in the past depending on the situation...!
... < Any other pairs,....it depends on the situation...!

I usually never slow play and i paid to do it.
Well, slow playing with a set isn't necessarily a mistake if it's not on a drawy board If there's any straight draw or flush draw possible then you may be just giving your opponent free cards to bust you. That's why I pretty much never slow play. When I have nothing I bet, and when I have something I bet too.
But if there's one thing thats strong enough to slow play heads up it's top set... Not much you can do if your opponent gets lucky though.

Yeah, sometimes we choose wrong tactic to play .Against calling station or guy raised almost all hand often made me take wrong decision too. if I didn't play he have bad card ( and I should win that hand) when I played I lost to him

Slow play usualy leads to one player being trapped. This time you trapped yourself. But in this constallation, with top set versus straight, the chips will end in the middle anyway. So no big deal.
