average hand in poker is Two-pair
meaning that a pair is not that great a hand.
i would never slow play kings or i would on very rare occasions.
given the circumstances, slow playing till the flop is acceptable
but you HAVE to bet that turn. u don't want to give another free card.
if u get raised, then u fold your kings. if you get called, flat call the river unless your hand improves (hitting another king).
on the river, if all you have is a pair, never raise it. just call the bet.
even if that ace didn't hit, flatcall. all you have is a pair, your opponent could easily have two pair or a straight on that board and was slowplaying YOU.
