However, some rookie players will make a huge bet with AA or KK because they believe the rumor that if you slow play a great hand it will get wrecked. All it takes is to get screwed over once with AA or KK to make you think that you have to bet huge. This is a mistake.
The action is to Tom and, as expected, he comes out firing a $250 bet. What now? Well, you could come back over the top of him and take this pot right now. Or you can do another smooth call and go for the kill. You think for a few moments, hesitate as if you are in great pain, and then smooth call by matching his $250.
There are 2 main "conditions" for performing a smooth call, here they are:

1. You must have AA, KK or maybe QQ. Big Slick (AK) is a risk as you have nothing. A pair of 3's can kick your butt. If there is only 1 player in the hand you can try to play AK on a smooth call if you are in late position.

2. You have good positioning. Fold your AA if more than 3 people are in a huge pot preflop. Heads-up AA is only 64% pre-flop. With 3 or more it goes down to 39%. Most people won't risk their stack for a 1/3 chance to win.
AMAZING!

If anyone had any doubt, this is a smooth call ppls.

What I like best about it is the way it suggest you can only call a raise pre with QQ+
