I will ask though if you frequently slow play value hands? If so and they think you will stack off, you are losing value AND possibly encouraging guys to take long shots (maybe correctly) at your stack with implied odds hands.
Also pay attention to villain river betting tendencies. Is this guy ever betting thinly or as a bluff here?
Bet your hand is my advice in these games.
My plan was to bet all three streets, but one piece of information i was missing messed up that plan. At the time I thought that V1 would bet the flop if I checked into him. I was tired and missed the fact that he might slow down because re raised pre. I was counting on him betting on the flop which he was doing 90% of the time, but I didn't put "two and two" together.
Maybe the 10% of flops he wasn't betting were the pots he was reraised or someone else lead out huge. I didn't pay enough attention to what he did on the flop when he wasn't "in control" of the pot on the flop.
Once the turn hits and paired board (tons of hands now split) and V2 betting into me my plan of betting the rest of the way... ugh
v2 had bluffed river and also bet thin on the river, just never at v1 (drunk). But at this point V1 is no longer in the hand.
Also i only usually slow play flopped nut flushes and full houses or better
