Slow Play?
What do I do on the flop? Slow play or raise like I did? I'm new to limit hold 'em and have taken the approach of 'bet/raise when in doubt.'
Ultimate Bet 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (9 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP3 calls. Flop: (11.40 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls, MP3 calls.

Re: Slow Play?
Raise now if in doubt. Wait for the turn if you think it's likely Mp1 will lead again and MP3 will call.

Re: Slow Play?
I would have called, and raise at every opportunity after.

Re: Slow Play?
IMO second set with two connected and very popular cards on the flop is not the time to slow play. Nice hand.

Re: Slow Play?
Perfectly played, it was an action flop and most of the time a villain will be willing to go to war, or at least get more money in now so those drawing dead stay in with improved odds.

Re: Slow Play?
well played
don't usually slow down the flop I only like to be slowplaying or flop C/R'ing if I wasn't the last one to do a raise, and if the flop is scary enough (all of this assuming I have an invulnurable hand as well) |

Re: Slow Play?
This is a good spot to fast play.
If anyone has an ace and is a slight maniac, they'll goto war with you, thinking you have a worse K. If they don't, you won't get anymore money out of slowplaying anyway. |

Re: Slow Play?
I think you played this hand perfectly.

Re: Slow Play?
Here is another hand where I decided to slow play. Good or bad decision. My thought process was I was hoping somebody might hit their flush or chase high cars by me not raising after the flop came with my made full boat.

The pot is small and you're giving your opponents a chance to improve to a second best hand (ie flush). |
