Final Pot: 21 BB

When I hit a set on the flop, I generally raise it. Here, I reasoned I was in the perfect situation to wait for the turn:

1) The board is highly uncoordinated. This means someone betting probably has a pair of something (probably someone with top-pair) and not just a draw. Same with many of the callers.

2) The bet came from the far left and with me on the button, I could easily trap everyone for more bets on the turn. If I raised on the flop, I'd probably scare the loose-passives into check-calling the turn. Miller and Sklansky even say it's okay to wait for the turn if you're NEAR CERTAIN raising the flop with your huge edge would lead to everyone checking the turn. It's more profitable to collect an extra BB from each player than an extra SB, right?

3) No one raised pre-flop, so it's unlikely someone has a strong hand like TPGK.

Do I have a case of Fancy Play Syndrome by occasionally calling the flop and raising the turn in this situation? Or is my approach reasonable?

This might be one of the rare instances in which a slowplay is correct. If you think that people will call your turn raise, then by all means - slowplay on this flop. Nice hand.

Knowing my luck, when I try this it's 100% someone is holding 56. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
