Default what % of the time do you slowplay sets?

i see lots of posts of people slowplaying set and i am curious about how much people actually slowplay their sets. when i was a newbie sloplays were my standard, rarely would i ever fastplay. now its high octane fastplaying and i think it is the best method for extracting cashola. I would say i sloplay sets no more than 10%-15% of the time. you?

I think this is not a good question, whether you slowplay depends on stacks, the boards texture, your image and your opponents image. It can't be given in percentages, and if it can these percentages reflect the variables mentioned above, it's not robotlike that x% of the sets has to be slowplayed.

i am not asking what is the RIGHT percentage of time to slowplay, or even under which conditions you sloplay, but rather what percentage of the time would you say that you end up slowplaying for whatever reason??? thats what i am getting at. if you looked at all the sets you flopped, what percentage of the time did you sloplay?

The funny thing is Mathematics of Poker says that according to game theory you should always have the current nuts in your range. So according to that you should slowplay your sets some of the time.

But IMHO that just depends on what you do with the rest of your range.

Is not that obvious that you slowplay your set when the board is not dangerous? (flush draw, str8 draw(GSD and OESD))
If not dangerous (Q 7 2 ...)and receive agression on the flop, call and fire on the turn. the newbie I am says that there is no % [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Numer of opponents (and their tendencies) also matters, especially if we're considering underbetting.

Depends on your image, board, stack sizes, pre-flop action as stated

Say I am the intial raiser pre-flop. As I almost always C-bet, it would be stupid for me to start checking when I flop a set, so I keep on betting.
If I am not the raiser, I can check-call/call if the board is not drawy, but usually I raise ot check-raise.
If I have a read that vilain is on a big overpaire, I won't slowplay because I know he will probably follow.
