Slowplaying big hands

I sometimes like to Slow Play and then bet heavy after the Turn. The other players sometimes think I'm Bluffing. I don't go to over the Top ...just enuff to set there minds a thinking.

So far I've been sticking to the professor's advice about bets and size of bets, and it's payed off (mostly). Last night I had quad 4s (pocket 4s) on the turn and the other two players had flush draws, so I slow played a little. They flopped their flush. I was first to bet, so I slow played with a weak bet, hoping they'd come over top of me. Both of them went all in, so I did a double check to make sure there was no straight flush possible, then I pulled down the biggest pot of my life (so far). I'm still smiling about it 24 hours later.

most of the time i slow play, just depends on whether or not i think that the other players will believe me or not. if i think they will call i usually make an overbet to make it look like i missed and trying to pick up the pot but most of the time i slow play and let them hit something to call me with.

I love to slow play big hands, but i don't do this when i am playing against people who like to call on draws and the flop looks like i could get into trouble. I hate more than anything to get beat when it is my fault. Good luck!
