Default Re: Flopping top set - going for overcalls?

Overcalls are also good if you may not have the best hand. Eg on the river, by raising you may get re-raised, knocking out whoever would have overcalled and putting it back to you, in a hopeless situation. By overcalling you get the extra bet in the pot, and dont risk 2 more of your own. If you hand is good you get paid, if not you risk less.

Default Re: Flopping top set - going for overcalls?

in general a slowplay requires several conditions:
1. a small pot
2. "thinking" opponents
3. a fairly invulnable made hand

usually, the intent is to allow your opponents to catch up and make a strong but "second best" hand.

sets are a fairly concealed hand - there are very few situations (especially on the micro tables)where slowplaying them is the right play.
