i try to realy slow my play down,then i think to my self how would someone with nothing play this hand ,sounds kinda dumb -but hey-its about getting paid

it is getting paid today it looks like. haha i do that sometimes as well but it will end up burning you every now and then cuz slow play leaves it open for a draw to get there and then you are in a bad spot cuz you are most likely gonna pay it off unless you really think he hit. gl etrong and play on.

Very nicely played, especially the second one, in which it's pretty clear your opponent has a big pair. And I heartily agree that thinking not only about what you hold and what your opponent holds, but also about what you want your opponent to think you hold, is vital to playing better poker. The speed at which on-line poker is often played does not always encourage such contemplation, but as with many such things, practice makes it come more naturally.

Slow-played? I don't see that in either hand.

i couldnt find the hand where i lost 83.00 with a-a-a

Great playon both of those hands e!!! 10's were good to you ,lol

keep it up!!!!

you got paid thats all that counts way to go
