Slow Play?
 

What do I do on the flop? Slow play or raise like I did? I'm new to limit hold 'em and have taken the approach of 'bet/raise when in doubt.'

Re: Slow Play?
 

Raise now if in doubt. Wait for the turn if you think it's likely Mp1 will lead again and MP3 will call.

Re: Slow Play?
 

I would have called, and raise at every opportunity after.

Re: Slow Play?
 

IMO second set with two connected and very popular cards on the flop is not the time to slow play. Nice hand.

Re: Slow Play?
 

Perfectly played, it was an action flop and most of the time a villain will be willing to go to war, or at least get more money in now so those drawing dead stay in with improved odds.

Re: Slow Play?
 

well played

don't usually slow down the flop

I only like to be slowplaying or flop C/R'ing if I wasn't the last one to do a raise, and if the flop is scary enough (all of this assuming I have an invulnurable hand as well)

Re: Slow Play?
 

This is a good spot to fast play.

If anyone has an ace and is a slight maniac, they'll goto war with you, thinking you have a worse K.

If they don't, you won't get anymore money out of slowplaying anyway.

Re: Slow Play?
 

I think you played this hand perfectly.

Re: Slow Play?
 

Here is another hand where I decided to slow play. Good or bad decision. My thought process was I was hoping somebody might hit their flush or chase high cars by me not raising after the flop came with my made full boat.

This one I don't mind so much. The pot is small and you're giving your opponents a chance to improve to a second best hand (ie flush).
