    I would like to share with you my bitter experience. Never use a slow game. Slow play has cost me and my misery final table. Now I will describe the situation:

    I have pocket aces. I'am 4-d by cheaps( 10 left). I raised 3bb. 6 fold, 2 called. (one of them was 1-st cheapsleader). So I get Ace on flop, and relaxed. They both checked, and I checked. Turn was A35T. We both again checked. And River came 4 (A35T4). They checked, and I was ALL-IN, then cheapsleader call with 2A =(

    Do you realise what mistake I did ???? I can't believe it to this day.
    Please, people do not make such play like me! Be smart!

    Good Luck!

    If you are going to give away chips at the end and allow others to run you down, you deserve to lose the hand.

    I can see a small bet on the flop and slightly bigger on the turn, but this slow play nonsense was a self inflicted wound.

    You have to think one of the two opponents has an ace to call your raise pre-flop, and since they called, not re-raised you, it's probably a raggy ace. Hence you gave away too much, too easy.
