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.

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

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.

why are you slow playing? give us your reasons first.

then we'll let you know if we disagree.

In hand 1 you can't really hope for CO to bet the turn after your flop c/r.

hand 1 - hahahahahhahahahaha wtf was any of that... im not going to even comment im convinced this hand is a joke.

hand 2 - you need to raise the flop to charge straight draws. if you arent raising the flop then raise the turn.

hand 3 - is probably fine on this dry board.

at this level slowplaying is USUALLY incorrect, but sometimes its fine. until you are skilled enough to understand against which players and on which boards to do it, just play the game straight up and bet your trips and sets.
