blinds were 15/30 that's not a small pot

On that note, I hate slowplaying sets in general. It's one of the most easily vulnerable nut hands imo, unless the board is very uncoordinated.

I know the pot wasn't small after getting callers, im talking about on the flop be happy to win just the blinds and end the hand right there, the hand is far too vulnerable to try and slow play it, so when flopping sets to a coordinated board [/b]be happy winning a small pot
