Default Re: I flop a set and play like a complete vag

[ QUOTE ]
Right, I know that nobody is really folding in this pot, but I don't want to just pop the flop then get everybody check-calling all the way and never get a chance to raise back through the field.

This was an OK plan, I thought, it just hugely backfired with the club on the turn.

Trust me on this... it's a bad idea on this board (especially on this board, though I'm not a fan of slowplaying sets in general). You need to push your equity edge here and it's a pretty big mistake to flat call and give up pushing that edge. Whatever you may gain in theoretical future streets isn't going to compare to the gain from your equity edge that you aren't pushing on the flop. There are a crapload of cards coming that are going to scare the shit out of you, increasing the importance of raising the flop.

I didn't notice the LAG nature of villian before originally commenting. I strongly consider an iso 3-bet here, depending on table texture.
