If you're up against an overly aggressive player, I have the best slowplay story to tell you. I'm "Humble Guy" the aggressive player is collette0725 and this is the second hand of the game.

So I'm dealt Pocket Kings in early position and I come in for a standard raise. Basically I'm feeling pretty good about this hand and I'm willing to fold cheap if an ace hits the board. Collette calls my raise.
*** FLOP *** [Kd 7d 8h]
Humble Guy bets 120
collette0725 raises to 510
Humble Guy calls 390
I just hit trip Kings. Now's my chance to slowplay and win big. Because this is only the second hand, no one knows me or my playing style, so I'm going to portray myself as someone who's not very experienced. I bet the standard raise of 120. The reason is that that appears to be a continuation bet as opposed to someone who hit big.
Collette reraises me, which is great. I pause a little and I call the bet.
*** TURN *** [Kd 7d 8h] [Ac]
Humble Guy checks
collette0725 bets 870, and is all in
Humble Guy calls 870, and is all in
collette0725 shows [Qd Jc]
Humble Guy shows [Kc Kh]
An ace hits the turn. The ace can appear to be a scare card. So I continue to show weakness by checking and Collette overplays her hand and goes all in hoping to scare me out of the pot. Of course, I call.
*** RIVER *** [Kd 7d 8h Ac] [8c]
collette0725 shows a pair of Eights
Humble Guy shows a full house, Kings full of Eights
Humble Guy wins the pot (3,045) with a full house, Kings full of Eights
collette0725 stands up
And as you can see Collette was bluffing with no hand, made a horrible read of my cards and I doubled up. I wound up coming in 2nd in this tournament. This is why I love this game of poker.
