    Out of all the stuff I have learned on FTR, this is the most profitable. Bet , someone raises .. You push . Huge payoff. I used to play sets slower.. Now this is standard play for me. Unless the flop is suited.

    I play sets like this all the time now because no one ever puts me on a set due to the "slow play your sets" mentality at the lower levels.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    this was a 60. betting your sets hard can be very effective at any level. of course, it depends on the specific players as well.

    No hindsight for the blind.
    Why not smooth call and let him bet out the turn?

    too many cards might scare him into putting more money in with a hand like KT

    Absolutely not, the odds that someone flopped a flush are small enough to make this play, but you don't want to slow down and make the price right to hit the four flush.

    If you call the flop raise and check the turn, there's a good chance he'll check behind (especially on this hand). And all of a sudden there's five cards on the board.
