Posted by doomdy: I have very bad experiences with slowplay Aces. I allmost never do it, like Flangel said sometimes in early when table is retarded then its an option.

Only on omaha , depend on table for me, If im early and expect a raise then ill let it ride then get a re-raise in, get it to HU pre-flop. To never do something means you game is missing out, you just got to know when and why to slowplay. I want value on my AA/KK and use what i think is the best way to go about it. However I never do it in cash games, im appy to collect blinds then, going bust in a tourn is ok , losing a buy in is a little frustrating when with AA/KK. Also agin in a tourn if late pos, and it folded to me I might slowplay expecting a raise from the BB. But if you do slowplay remember you might have to fold, can you fold AA, if not dont do it.

allways play them with a raise pre flop....and if theres a raise before me...allways re raise them... the reason why i re raise them is because all i want them to shove...so i can make an easy call

Only slow play them in Omaha AA** or KK** if not double suited, be cautious. In hold em, best to get a good whack of chips in there or risk some fool with 52os calling your low raise and hitting a FH or low straight. it happens too often.
Really depends on the table, and position. Some times does, some times doesn't..! But I prefer not slow-playing these cards... Otherwise it's also about how deep I'm in of course..
