Pitfalls of slowplay?
This is a made up hand but it happens often enough I want some advice on how to handle it.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (7 handed) converter
Hero ($2.70)
BB ($3.04)
UTG ($0.75)
MP1 ($2.70)
MP2 ($2.23)
CO ($5.87)
Button ($5.63)
Preflop: Hero is SB with J , T .
UTG calls $0.02, MP1 calls $0.02, MP2 calls $0.02, 2 folds, Hero completes, BB checks.
Flop: ($0.10) J , J , 6 (5 players)
Assume it is checked around to you (if this same thing happened when you were in LP). What are the risks if you check to disguise your trips and bet the turn. There were no preflop raises so if everyone folds here I win almost nothing. I know that at my level most everyone bets what they have and they don't look for people being tricky. That means that if someone bets that flop then they give you credit for the worst possible (trips) and they fold.
