On a short slick runway as soon as you touch down you will be in reverse thrust and the go around option is not recommended by Bubbers

Please don't put everyone in this category, this would not be my technique, I choose to keep my options open.


Options open means you want to be able to go around without coming out of reverse first which can easily be done but is not recommended by sop. How far with your procedure of landing on a short slick runway do you travel before you select reverse thrust? How much does that extend your landing distance? Most airplanes, you know the ground spoilers will work so if you fly that airplane you can always get ground spoilers so there isn't any reason to wait for ground spoilers to deploy before commiting to a landing. If you fly an airplane that you don't know if you can get ground spoilers I see your point.
