Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with 7♥ 7♦
UTG folds, UTG+1 raises, CO calls, Hero calls, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: 7♣ 4♠ 3♦ (10SB, 5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, CO bets, Hero raises, 3 folds, CO calls.

Turn: 3♠ (7BB, 2 players)
CO bets, Hero raises, CO calls.

River: A♣ (11BB, 2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets, CO folds.
Uncalled bets: 1BB returned to Hero.

Results:
Final pot: 11BB

I was really happy when I saw the flop, I thought UTG will make a c-bet and I'll get some people trapped in the pot, but to my disappointment UTG didn't bet :( At that point slowplay crossed my mind. What about if I just call? But tbh I don't really know how I would play later streets then. Maybe another call on turn in hope of some overcalls or just a raise? A raise would maybe look to strong to keep ppl in aldough that 3 isn't that scary...

To sum up my questions:
1. Would a slowplay(call on flop) be good here?
2. If it would be, how would you play later streets if lets say UTG would stay in the pot?

Pot was quite big already, large number of opponents, and drawy-board. "No slow-playing big pots" Stox says ;)


Hi Dippy19,

as any 6 or 5 has 4 outs against you I agree with tomzyb. On a bit less drawheavy board I prefer a call on the flop but then raise the turn as you want some value if he has a good hand as well.
