A ROYAL FLUSH
Sunday November, 15th 2009 by fullhouse

Pre flop action is often times one of the biggest indicators of what the other player is holding. When you notice an UTG or EP raise your first instinct should be to put them on a strong hand. If you are fortunate enough to hit hard on the flop it can be very beneficial to slow down and let the pre flop raiser take control for a bit. Even if they don’t have anything you should want them to be betting out on the flop just so that they can start to build up the pot for you. If the player happens to have a hand it will only help to build the pot up if you let them push the action. Slow playing assumes that you have a very strong hand, it would be useless to slow play with a weak or mediocre hand. If you do slow play the flop you should have a well formulated plan for the turn and river. One of the keys to success in poker is planning ahead, and it is the foundation for all successful slow plays. Below you will find an actual hand history where the opportunity to slow play the flop presents itself.
No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6-Max)
Hero (Button) ($159.55)
SB ($30.24)
BB ($130.97)
UTG ($50.59)
MP ($41.35)
CO ($30)

Preflop

Hero is Button with 10s, 10d
UTG bets $2.50, 2 folds, Hero calls $2.50, SB calls $2.25, 1 fold
Pre flop we are dealt a pretty strong hand, pocket tens, but since the raise is from the UTG player we decide to simply call. Our hand holds plenty of showdown value as it is, but there is a lot of room for improvement. Pocket tens are not the ideal hand to stack off with, even if the flop brings all low cards, as many hands will have us crushed pre flop or will catch up on the flop.

Flop

($8) 5d, 10h, 8c (3 players)
SB checks, UTG bets $6.60, Hero calls $6.60, 1 fold
The flop is absolutely perfect as we have the nuts. Not only do we have the nuts, but there are very few draws out there, and even the draws are unlikely to have hit the other players. Luckily we are already in position so the other players will act before us by default. The SB checks and the UTG bets close to pot, continuing with the aggression he showed pre flop. We elect to call in an attempt to keep the SB in the pot and so that we can see what the turn brings. The SB decides to fold and the turn is dealt.

Turn

($21.20) 6h (2 players)
UTG bets $15, Hero raises to $66.70, UTG calls $26.49 (All-In)
The turn completes random straight draws, but these are the types of hands that can essentially be eliminated from our opponent’s range. He again leads out on the turn and we can be pretty confident that he is at least somewhat strong. The board now puts out a flush draw and more straight draws so once he bets we are forced to shove over him. He calls us with a flush draw and we take it down. A call on the turn would have given him the opportunity to see a cheap river (and he might have nailed his flush), this is why we have to force the action after he bets the turn.

River

($104.18) 6c (2 players, 1 all-in)

*** SHOW DOWN ***

UTG - Shows [Ah Qh] (One pair, sixes)

Total pot: $104.18
