    The Dangers of Slow-Playing Big Pots
    The aim of slow-playing a hand is to entrap your opponent, so when you have a great hand in front of you, the temptation is to lure your opponent into a trap. Sometimes this can backfire.   Those over at CasinosOnline.com note how slow-pl...

      Ronin1085 . Pot control is key when dealing with "fish" -- I tend to refer to them as "call-stations." They do want to be in tons of pots, and can run you down.

But you can trap them with monsters, and when you get a monster you must get max value. I tend to underbet them if I have a made hand and bring them along, they never seem to notice.

      Ian Ross Your blog post seems to recommend staying away from fish when, I believe, the exact opposite should apply. Play good strong poker and you'll extract more money from a 'fishy' table than from one where all the players are of an average/good skill level.

    Playing against a short stack in cash poker can be dangerous because they are likely to be a loose canon. In tournament play short stacks represent another sort of opponent, but again one that can be dangerous.   A player enters a cash game with a ...
