I don't slowplay normally but against this villain who has no idea about being slowplayed i did it.

PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

The villain is 73/27/2.2

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q, A
2 folds, CO calls, Hero raises, 2 folds, CO calls

Flop: (5.5 SB) A, A, 8 (2 players)
CO checks, Hero checks

Turn: (2.75 BB) 9 (2 players)
CO bets, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, Hero calls

River: (8.75 BB) 7 (2 players)
CO bets, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, Hero calls

Total pot: $14.75 (14.75 BB) | Rake: $0.50

Results:
Hero mucked Q, A (three of a kind, Aces).
CO had 6, 5 (straight, nine high).
Outcome: CO won $14.25



2 minutes later....the same villain

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, A
1 fold, MP calls, 1 fold, SB raises, Hero calls, MP calls

Flop: (6 SB) A, 4, 3 (3 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, 1 fold, SB calls

Turn: (5 BB) 9 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls

River: (7 BB) 5 (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls

Total pot: $9 (9 BB) | Rake: $0.40

Results:
SB had 2, 2 (straight, five high).
Hero mucked 8, A (one pair, Aces).
Outcome: SB won $8.60

I don't see a lot you could have done differently against this villian. I would flag him though and play every table he sits at for the rest of my days.

H1. Shows how sloplaying can backfire, but not that you should care beyond NEVER EVER EVER DO IT. Villain is soooooooo awful, you want to play him again and again

H2. Standard. Dont like your PF call there, tho. A8o doesnt play well multiway oop

I may sloplay flopped quads or royal flush, but not much more...

For the right to be governed, waste them without mercy.

one....why arent we betting that flop? and, why oh why arent we capping the turn? you chose to slowplay it, what changed to make you only call the 3bet?

two....3bet pre or fold. A8o aint strong enough to 3bet, so you have your answer.

villain is a complete tard and you should make your money off of him despite these two hands. follow him like youre his shadow.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

I wouldn't mind a 3-bet there to isolate against the SBtard. However, the situation would require that MP is the kind of player who would fold when it is two bets back to him.
