The player, Ariel, is being coached to improve her poker game by using statistical analysis and a solver. Ariel's current strategy involves checking the middle of the range too often, which is too weak for check-raises. The coach is introducing a new strategy for Ariel called 'slowplay' to help her improve her game.
Slowplay involves checking with strong hands to provoke the opponent into bluffing with hands they would otherwise fold. Ariel should only slowplay when she is out of position and the texture is favorable for the player in position.
