The Slowplay. It's likely nothing has ever caused more loses (by allowing suckouts and losing value even when we hang on to win) in poker than the slowpay. Another problem with the slowplay is that often when someone draws out on us because we let them get there for free it causes us to go on monkey tilt and give away even more money. It's also so overused that against many bad players you can use it as a tell; They slow down (checking and calling) only when they have a big hand. This hand wasn't tilt inducing nor did I slowplay here because I though my trips were a lock. I just simply made a mistake and thought one of my opponents would bet and allow us to raise. Bad assumption on may part.
On a positive note I had another good night tonight (10ptbb/100 over 500 hands) and it could have easily been much more if Tilt hadn't timed out when I had a bad player on the button 3bet me (I had AA). By the time the screen unfroze my cards were in the muck! Folding AA preflop is a VERY dumb thing but nothing I could do about it in this case.
