Never slowplay?
I have changed my style to tight/aggressive for a little while. This normally results in a preflop raise by me with a good starting hand (varying the raise) and then even if I hit or not I throw in a 3-5xBB bet to probe for limpers. However, I find if I have even the nuts (flop a flush, trips, straight, etc.) I am very hesitant to slowplay because I have been taken out by calling stations on the river so many times. Depending on the table I might even throw in a 10xBB bet to chase everyone away who didn't hit something huge.
Am I losing money by not slowplaying and simply betting people out after the flop? Or is discretion the better part of valor and if I can take the pot down without showing down is that the best play? To me it is no risk less money versus more risk more money.
Also, is this type of play very readable? I'm playing micro limits so I'm pretty sure people aren't taking notes but occasionally I run into someone who starts playing into me. This usually means I simply change tables.
