    Default I really wanted to slowplay this set...

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP1 ($166.25)
    MP2 ($108.45)
    MP3 ($100.30)
    CO ($79.85)
    Button ($214.40)
    SB ($111.35)
    BB ($82.40)
    UTG ($19)
    Hero ($108.75)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 7, 7.
    1 fold, Hero calls $1, 1 fold, MP2 calls $1, 1 fold, CO calls $1, Button calls $1, SB completes, BB raises to $6, Hero calls $5, MP2 calls $5, CO calls $5, Button calls $5, SB calls $5.

    Flop: ($36) 7, Q, 6 (6 players)
    SB checks, BB bets $12, Hero raises to $40, MP2 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds.

    Final Pot: $60

    Im not by any means as experienced as most others here, but I dont see how you can slowplay this flop in a 6-way pot

    This is not being results oriented. This is not slowplaying scary, coordinated boards against 5 players (3 with position).

    So not slowplaying vs poor players. They won't understand that you're not raising a draw often so you don't need a merged range. BB is sure to felt an overpair on this flop, but not a lot of turns. We're obv scared of a handful of turns. Flush draws behind will still often call a raise.

    $30 on the flop works since all the money is going in on the turn anyway.

    On the flop we have 7 outs to a boat (or better).
    On the turn we have 10 outs to a boat.

    I like a flop minraise.

    I was tempted to....but wouldn't that be giving pot odds to anyone chasing?

    yes.

    What we want to do is to induce as many mistakes as possible. Min-raising gives justification for any drawing hands to call. So lets bump it up to a pot sized bet so that drawing hands are making mistakes and we are getting paid against big pairs.

    We are betting 24 into a 48 pot so it is still a ½ pot bet but with 5 potential callers.
    Poker stove it. We have around 55% equity in this pot.

    Are we that worried about giving bad odds to chase?
    F-it, let them all call because we have the pot equity on our side.

    Jack-high straight flush motherfucker
    flop minraise only of you have a history of minraising flop with air

    else, you are playing your hand face up



    basically, slowplaying is for pussies. only slowplay if you are 99% sure opponent will bet out with a weaker hand than he'll call raises with (?)
