The relevance of this hand is that, in shorthanded especially, slow playing is not usually the best option. At best, if you slowplay a big hand, instead of bet/raise/3bet flop bet turn bet river, you get to bet/raise/call the flop, or even check/call flop, and then check/raise the turn and bet river/get called. You win like .5-1bb more here. But, if your opponent has a hand that he feels like overplayin, you oughta give him a chance to do it. Like this is obviosuly an exxageratted case, but often i will check/raise/threebet the flop and fire turn, hoping to get off a bet/raise/threebet instead of a check/raise- you make like 2bb/100 more this way alot of the time, and sometimes you make like a billion more bbs. iF ya gotta big one, you mights well give your opponent the chance to really overplay his hand by raisin your assoff is how i usually play it. You can make 1/2 or 1bb more in the best scenarios of slowplayin, but your gonna feel like a donk if you slowplay your set till the river only to findout that you had your opponent oversetted and missed like 42 bets.
