Final Pot: t2960

I actually wasn't slow-playing here. I thought the 3-bet / check on the flop indicated a set almost certainly, and so I didn't want to get it all-in on the flop or turn, even with two pair and a flush draw. This is the 2nd hand of the SNG, so I don't really know much about my opponent.

1) Call pre-flop is fine, right? He's not making a very large raise, and stacks are still deep and I'm in position.

2) Do you bet the flop? I was about 80% sure he'd raise me, so I decided to take the free card instead and hope to outdraw him.

3) On the turn, if I raise, I think I'm only folding out hands I have beat - like a scared QQ or KK - and getting action from hands like AJ, TT, or AJ. I can still take a relatively cheap card and try to fill up or hit my flush. Further, if he has QQ or KK, I could hit the money card - the Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and stack him.

River is pretty obvious.

Thoughts?
