Default Re: how to play a flopped set of aces with no danger on the board

You almost have to slowplay here though, because otherwise you get no money. Excluding the actual situation where someone fell in love with their pocket pair. How can someone raise that board without an ace? And since there is only one other ace, chances are better that he called your raise with a pocket pair, and if he's solid/tight he'd only play back at you a small percentage of the time.

I find that most aggressive players will try to pick up that pot on the flop if you check since it isn't scary. A pocket pair like jacks will always bet since if you have queens you might laydown. If the hearts are on the board, sure, bet hard and let him make a big mistake when you are a 70% favorite, it'd be hard for him to fold a pair and a flush draw.
