zybomb, i totally agree with u. in fact, i very extremely rarely slowplay aces *postflop* for all the good reasons we all know.

however, once in a blue moon, a totally "safe" board comes against one, max two, chaser(s)/calling station(s), where one could extract a little extra milk without scaring them off. (more than two callers, of course, u bet out for value right away, no ifs, ands or buts.)

and thats exactly what would have happened in the above example were it not for one of the 5 remaining cards in the deck that would have killed me, and indeed ended up killing me.

i just got unlucky, to say the least. but hey, the good news is im totally used to getting very/significantly statistically unlucky, which i do on a daily basis.
