Default Slow play set on a dangerous flop?

Hello,

This is a Party Poker $30 + $3 NL Texas Hold'em game. Blinds are $15/$30.

After the flop, the 2 mini-bets made me suspet that at least one of my opponents is on a draw.

I was tempted to call thinking that it is my best chance to grow the pot and maybe even make a bundle (example: Qh on the turn). But on the other hand, I don't like to let the other 2 guys get a cheap turn card that might bust my set.

Comments?

Thanks!

No chance in hell you want to slow play this. This is the perfect flop for stacking someone..play it fast. Sucks that it didn't work out though.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that neither of the blinds has KK and QQ. Maybe I'm wrong though [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

think scuba meant you don't want to see straight or flush cards come cheap. i don't think he was saying you're behind on the flop.

Fold preflop. Other than that, you played this just fine.

yeah, I suck at life, and poker twice as much.

Still you obviously can't get stacked on this flop, because you're ahead. So play it fast and hope they three-bet you or something like that. But definitely don't slowplay it, that's how you hang yourself.

If you don't think it's likely to be raised, why not see the flop?

Generally you want to have a couple people limp in before you call with a small pair. Small pairs do better when you flop a set with many people in the pot, or when you are heads-up.
