What exactly is a slow play in poker, and how should it be used?

[freelancermaria]

In poker, slow playing involves employing a passive strategy with a strong hand. This technique entices opponents with weaker hands to wager, especially against aggressive players who often resort to bluffing. However, its effectiveness depends on the willingness of opponents to participate in the betting rounds, so it can fail. What do you think?

Trapping players or slow playing hands is effective when you're strong against aggressive players. Sometimes I change it up, and trap tighter players if I believe they hit their cards, and I can get more value.
