THIS Is When You Should SLOW-PLAY A SET (Live Poker Leak Alert)

It's typically good to play your sets fast and aggressive, but there are times when slow playing will be WAY more profitable. Let's review a $1/$2 #poker hand where my opponent missed out on hundreds of dollars by shoving his #set instead of just calling the flop instead.

In this video, James "SplitSuit" Sweeney reviews a hand from VLOG #9. Hero raises with KTs from early position, ends up going 5-way to the flop (oops!), and faces a $45 donk-jam into a $30 pot. After hero calls, villain shoves over the top with a set, and ends up winning the minimum in a spot where he can EASILY make another $100+. Major concepts include calling to induce action behind you, a lack of reasonable semi-bluff combos in a raising range, and raise sizing elasticity.

(P.S., the conversation about raise sizing elasticity is what could make villain's all-in super good for bluffing. But players at this level pretty much never do that, so it's a moot point here)
