Fair enough, good point. I slow play far to much.

I'm never really sure how to bet a set. I'm basically looking to get all in on the flop, right?

On that flop there, how would you have bet in an early position? The pot, minimum, 1/2 the pot, push, what? Am I looking to get someone to put me all in, or am I going all in, and hoping that there's someone stupid enough to call? (Obviously in this particular situation it's academic, because I was always behind, but you know what I mean; in general).

Do you ever lay a set down on the flop, for fear of a better set, or are you willing to always go broke? How about if the flop is, for example 5d6c7d, and I hold 6s6h?
