But the best advice i can give is never slow play. If you've got a good hand, go in hard to scare away the little guys. The only time you're allowed to slow play is when you have the best possible hand and nothing that comes down could cause someone else to have a better hand than you (that's called the "nut").

limit or no limit?
limit: play tight
no limit: bet accordingly to the pot, bet at least half pot size if you have a good hand and there is a draw

i would say slow playing is better when there is fewer people. if you are slow playing against 5+ people, letting 5 hands draw to beat you...it can backfire quite severely.
but if you are down to 1 or 2 other hands...sometimes you let them draw even if you don't have the best possible hand. it also depends on the types of people you play against.
but i definitely think there is a time and place for slowplay.

I also want to try to re-raise some people to 'test' the strength of their hands. Any ideas if this is a good idea or not?
