Default Re: Someone PLEASE Explain This to Me

I seriously doubt this is the biggest leak in your game. Slow playing in the situations you describe seems somewhat proper.

Into a med-large field I will slowplay a set quite often on a good board. It really depends on the game you are playing, but waiting till the turn to show strength with a good deal of hands has all types of benefits, from allowing you to charge draws the most, to knocking out live hands that have a decent draw, to getting more money in the pot with the best hand, and even to saving yourself that half a bet when things go terribly wrong.

Now don't get me wrong, if the person to my left bets, and several people call, I'm popping it right there, or if I'm out of position in a heads-up pot I'm betting out (I love this), or if I'm in an eight-way pot I'll bet out...So...I guess I am saying I wouldn't swear it off, but I think if it's a mistake it's a pretty minor one.
