all of the advice here has to be taken lightly, i think. every different situation deserves a different play, and ruling out slowplaying strong hands is a bad idea. the problem is generally that people slowplay weak hands, and then they get pissed when someone hits their straight or flush. you cant slowplay top pair, top kicker, or something like that. adjust your play to what the different possibilities out there are.
slowplaying can cost you money, but at the same time if you let someone hit top pair when you have a set, or let someone draw to a flush when you have a boat, you will get paid off. playing very strong hands fast will probably lose you just as much money in the long run, but people do not realize this because they win the pot.
every dollar on the table is equally important, so not maximizing your wins is just as bad as making a bad call and losing a hand.
