Re: Flopping a set: slow playing or not?
First Hand, i wouldnt say its a bad move checking, since you want to force out people. UTG could easily have a hand like 2 Highcards, so this flop might have helped him.
Turn check is stupid, on the Turn its time to get the money in. Second Hand: The SB shows you that he got a hand. Dont just call, if someone behind you got a gutshot or OESD you need to force him out. Definite raise on the Turn, what are you waiting for? Third Hand: Raise if someone bets into you. If he's bluffing, he wont call you on fourth street either, so why not raise, he might have to overcards but then he will call your raise, i guess. You need to get your money in on fourth and fifth street!!! Remeber: If you dont lose a lot with a set, you probably played it wrong! |

Re: Flopping a set: slow playing or not?
Thanks for your comments, I'll read the FAQ before posting again.
I played on the same table for about an hour or two and I kept playing the top 10-15 hands and people started to fold on every bet of mine so I wanted to keep them in the hand, I now understand that it was stupid. I started playing Hold'em only two weeks ago, so I'm a real beginner. (sry for my bad English) p.s. Maybe there's a lot of bad players on partypoker at micro stakes because I won a lot of BB even if I play badly. Anyway, thanks for your time. |

Re: Flopping a set: slow playing or not?
Pls read the faq and only post one hand at a time.
Then, in the first hand you have trips, not a set. Slowplaying trips is just about always bad, esp. at your level. Checking that turn is atrocious. Someone could just have picked up a Flushdraw and you let him see the next card for free. Brilliant. Second hand: Congrats at making the least possible amount of money for your hand. Your opponents sure love you. Third hand: Same. The raise button is there for a reason. |

Hand 1: Bet the flop, bet the turn.
Hand 2: raise the flop, as played raise the turn. Hand 3: Just raise the flop Finally, [ QUOTE ] No, don't slow play. No, don't post 3 hands at once. Read the FAQ and respond to other peoples hands. Welcome to the forum. [/ QUOTE ] |

Hand 1
The turn check was insane. Trips arent nearly as strong as sets. Keep the pressure on. Hand 2 and 3 Once you get sucked out on enough by allowing your opponents to draw to cheap runner runners and only winning smallpots you will learn to make them pay to stay in. |
