PS $12 180 Flopped set vs Hyper Agressive

[Nairb]

I feel like I may have butchered this hand. Villian is 58/25 over a very small sample of 30 or so hands so when I hit the set I knew he would bet but that he also could have played any two sooted cards as he appeared to be chasing flushes regularely. I decided to slow play, probably a mistake. How bad is this hand and how would you have played it. Is slowplaying a set here terrible? I have been on a run of my big hands not getting paid off so I was trying to build a decent sized pot and not run him out. Seems like when I bet out lately with a big hand I am getting no value but when I slowplay I am getting drawn out on. It is a double edge sword huh. On the turn is that small a c/r bad, i thought after I did it I thought it was bad and I should have pushed.

First of all, your converter messed up the pre-flop action... BB minraises first to act... and observer folds?!?

In general, I'm much more likely to slow-play a set on a two-suited flop when I'm up against only one opponent. One opponent is very unlikely to have the flush draw there and I'd rather concern myself with extracting chips than worrying about the draw. Vs the villain you described, I'd probably check and let him take a stab at the pot if we were HU.

Once there are two or more others in the pot, the chance of someone being on a flush draw is much higher and I'll almost never slow-play.

In your hand, I'd bet out on the flop. As played, raise more on the turn.

Lead flop, lead turn, shove river.

As sap said: there are multiple villians in this hand you have to bet it.

[Nairb]

There is something about the preferred seat option at PS that messes up my HH when I try to convert them. It is all messed up. First off UTG was the original min-raiser and it ended up being Me, the SB vs villian the BB. Observer. wtf?

[sapsuckah]

I use the preferred seat option also and never have this problem. I use the Flop, Turn, River hand converter.

[Nairb]

That came out better. Thanks for the FTR link, I was not using that one.

Bet 300 on flop. Depending on calls bet 3/4 to pot sized on the turn. And shove on river. Checking or betting like half the pot like cbet is too wrong here. Only if you were HU against that hyperaggressive guy than depending on your read you would prefer c/r over 3bet on flop.
