A couple of non2+2 friends of mine both complain to me about when they play hands like this they "never get paid."

They're both broke now.

Nice hand.

Why slowplay.. you'd bet here if you had raised pf with any ace, no? No reason anyone should think you have a set. Giving free cards can only hurt you... any heart, 8, 10, J and King can give potentionally give someone a better hand (18 cards).

If you feel the need to slowplay... you would do it on a rainbow board of A-9-4. (mind you, there are still some straight possibilities but that's always the case with a set of aces.

Yes I would have bet the flop with any ace. And I don't know why I sorta felt like slowplaying here. I guess I wanted someone to hit something good, which ends up being illogical because anything they could hit besides two pair gives them something better than my set.

I'd rather "never get paid" then "end up broke". So I will continue to bet flops like this.

Another reason you have to bet is in order to gauge what he does have. If he calls then you know you're looking at 2pr to a flush draw. I only say 2pr bc it's possible that AQ stayed in and he's thinking he's going to bust your AK.

If you check and he checks, too many scare cards will turn which you might not be ahead of.
