Making your opponent think he’s already beaten. This requires betting like you would if you had a great hand.
Slowplaying is the exact opposite of bluffing. You are here trying to convince you’re opponents that you have a worse hand than you really do. Using this requires keeping an eye on what you’re doing and knowing what’s going on.
