There are time you should consider the slowplay in a poker tournament.

The most obvious hand to slowplay is pocket Aces. The Pros can slowplay a hand, can you?

Here are times you should consider slowplaying your Aces:

1. Early in the event. Your goal is NOT to just win the blinds. The blinds are too small to make a difference to the size of your chip stack. You’re goal is to maximize your return with pocket Aces, while minimizing your risk.

2. When you are below average in chips. Here you want to find a way to win a big pot to get you back into the hunt to win.
