I'm a relative SH newbie, so be nice /images/graemlins/wink.gif. Comments on my thought process/play are appreciated.
That said, I would appreciate comments on this flopped set. It is a drawless board, so I believe this is a good situation for a slowplay. There is lots of profit to be made from the 2 callers behind me as well.
The 5 on the turn makes my hand stronger, but a raise would probably drive out the jacks or worse 8's my opponents are playing.
Finally, the river 5 could be a bad card, but it probably makes the jacks think they are chopping, so I raise and hope for the best.
