Slow Play

Created by linaker on July 29, 2009

Definition

To act in a way to deceive other players that you have a weak hand when in fact your hand is strong. For example, check the flop and turn and then raise the opponent’s bet on the river.

Example

I shouldn't have slow played my set on the flop. I checked behind and he made a straight on the turn.
