Do you want advice on this one? I would raise the flop, although seeing as you slowplayed you should raise the turn. You would have got some good action doing this from the SB.

Dont slowplay a set all the way /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Raise the Turn, Reraise/Cap.
Reaise the river/Reraise/Cap.

Debating if you should raise the flop... Prob best not to, Keep the interest.

[Kain]

I think I like the call on the flop, but you absolutely have to raise this turn I think. River is fine.

[MrWookie47]

No way. Raise the flop. You've got a guy trapped in the middle who may not stick around. Get his money while you can.

You only need one button for this hand.

Just left a lot of money at the table!

Congratulations on hitting the quads. I tend to see quads when the villain has them and my full house loses.

Any reason that you did not raise the flop? With a set on the flop I almost always raise with so many opponents in the hand.

funny, pocket twos are my all time biggest Quad makers. They are my favorite hand. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[SoftcoreRevolt]

This is the worst played set ever.

RAISE the flop. You have someone trapped, and are up against a PFR who may go to war, especially with that King on the turn.

Are we really limping pocket pairs down to 22 in EP without a loose passive table read?

[Shillx]

What is your reasoning behind playing it this way?? It is pretty bad dude...

Generically, $.50/1 is loose enough that you can safely limp in all pocket pairs (we don't need to bump Bison's "Should I limp 22 UTG?" post again).

If the table isn't loose passive, then it's probably tight passive and you can still make it out okay by playing a little more aggressively postflop.

(In Hero's hand, there were 6 to the flop for two bets... looks like a great table to limping 22.)
