Trying to slow play a pair? Great way to win the least and lose the max.

I've seen that play quite a bit. You hope someone gets top pair and you take a big pot from him. I've done it once or twice in the small blind when everyone folded to me.

The only time that type of passivity should be considered is extremely shorthanded at the end of a tournament.

What's the difference between a large cheese pizza and a poker player?
A large cheese pizza can feed a family of four.

I played one hand in a 5 max game where I raised preflop with 8-8, got reraised and I called. On the flop I hit my set, and bizarrely this guy was only check-calling my large bets. On the river he hits his set of aces and wins.
