    wondering where the 3 extra chairs at my 6max table came from

    Default Slow playing a set

    Was this line right? I feel like I invariably get hosed when I try and slow play a set, even with a relatively harmless flop.

    Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.02 BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($1.74)
    UTG+1 ($2.79)
    Hero ($2.28)
    MP1 ($.68)
    MP2 ($1.72)
    MP3 ($2.23)
    CO ($2.48)
    Button ($1.84)
    SB ($.94)
    BB ($.85)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with T, T.
    1 fold, Hero calls $0.02, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.02, B calls $0.02, CO calls $0.02, Button calls $0.02, SB completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($0.14) A, T, 8 (8 players)
    SB bets $0.09, BB folds, UTG folds, Hero calls $0.09, MP2 raises to $0.18, CO folds, Button calls $0.18, SB calls $0.09, Hero raises to $0.27, MP2 calls $0.09, Button calls $0.09, SB calls $0.09.

    Turn: ($1.22) 6 (5 players)
    SB bets $0.65 (All-In), Hero bets $0.65 (All-In), MP2 folds, Button folds.

    River: ($2.52) 7 (3 players, 2 all-in)

    Final Pot: $2.52

    Too passive. Raise preflop. Thin field. Me Tarzan.

    And I think there is something wrong with this hand history. You shouldn't be AI to call $0.65, and also,

    It started 9 handed, 7 saw the flop, 4 saw the turn, 2saw the river, why did UTG fold twice, and what happened to and who is B?

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with T , T .
    1 fold, Hero calls $0.02, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.02,B calls $0.02, CO calls $0.02, Button calls $0.02, SB completes, BB checks.

    i dont have a problem with limping TT at all. in the lower stakes, you can make a case for both raising and limping anything <JJ, imo.

    and, if you decide to slow your set, you chose a decent spot. a dryish board. watch the connectivity in this spot, tho. there can be a lot of str8 draws in there...since the pot is limped, and your stakes are very low. things like 79 could realistically be in there. i would lean towards betting, myself.

    as for the HH, sb was shorty here...had only .95 behind when cards came out. and the AI for hero was stating he called the all in...since the pot went HU at that point.

    but when you DID get a person betting, and a minraise behind you...why did you only minraise again? to me that was a bad mistake...all the previous was just gambling a bit.

    you know now that one of them isnt likely to be going anywhere...raise bigger. at least take away odds to a str8. instead of raising it 9 more cents...which gives everyone better odds to chase...raise the pot. send a message.

    i doubt the flop raiser folds out to a big raise...charge him.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
