I sit in a Carbon cash table (Yellowstone NLHE .1/.25) as every day with the maximum: $25, and after a while I won two good hands and go up to about $82.
After about 10 minutes with few action I got JJ in the SB. Only limp an aggresive player from United Arab Emirates and I choose do slow play and just call the BB (another 15c), the BB player checks.
Flop comes 688 and everybody check.
Turn: J (the dreamed card for me), but I still choose slow play, and checked, because the aggresive player, when you make a bet in the river he almost always do a raise.
Everybody check after the turn too.
River: 7 (didn't remember if was a 7, but was a card low than a J).
I made a .75 bet, praying for a raise from the aggresive player (he had $25).
And works! He made a raise about $3.25 and I pushed him to allin.
After press the button and seeing that he called I was thinking... "another $25! What a great day is today!"
But... is a good day, yes, but not so great like I was thinking. He was holding 88 and beat me with a nice quad.
I learned my lesson today, even an aggresive player can play in the slow way holding a better hand than you. Don't be gready.
