Re: Top Set, Bad Slowplay?
I'm gonna get spiritual here... I think its like a 'Murphy's Law' or something, but here it is;
If you slowplay, karma will kick you in the *ss.
My biggest losses with big pocket pairs like Kings or Aces were all where I decided to get cute and limp preflop... inevitably, someone limps in with junk since its so cheap and hits some ridiculous hand.
If I slowplay my sets, then there will be a runner runner flush or straight. everytime it happens I remind myself why I'm supposed to consistantly bet.
Then other thing; what if you missed? Wouldn't you make a continuation bet anyways?
I have actually become suspicious when a normally aggressive player raises (or reraises) someone preflop. Then checks on the flop (when they're normally auto-betting).
You would ALWAYS bet that flop with just about any hand you would have raised preflop with . So bet here too.
