Yeah, I like to slow play a good hand - I will raise but only minimum to keep people thinking I'm not confident with my hand, perhaps chasing a flush? I will then look at betting big at the river. I u ...

It can be a bad tactic. I wouldn't do it with nothing in hand, but even a marginal hand I would often pay to see the flop. Mid pocket pairs, high suited cards or face cards will usually fall under tha ...
