Default Re: Should I slow down with my set here?

You don't have a set.

Fold preflop.

Bet flop.

Raise more on turn.

As played, you have no idea where you are. Someone could have backed into a straight or full house. Or they may have TJ. This is why you don't play hands like two pair or trips this way. If you play this straight-forward and a decent player goes nuts on you you can think about bailing (or at least slowing down and playing WA/WB). As it is, you've under-repped your hand (you call it slowplaying, I call it shooting yourself in the foot). So you get what you want, action, and now you're in a panic?


And please include the buy-in level in the subject of your posts. Thanks.
