				  Why sometimes it can pay off to play your set aggresively.
			
			
					
					
			
				
					
						Hi there, first time poster here, but this probabaly isn't the last you will see of me as i am a message board junkie.    I have been playing on party poker for about a month now ($25 NL HE)  and it seems that every time i flop a set and i slowplay somebody outdraws me at the river and i bust (mostly people calling my large turn bet with a gutshot draw. why does that seem to be the trend on party poker? maybe i need to move up to bigger limits.) or i pick up about a dollar fifty from the pot. so tonight i tried a different approach; i came out firing. lucky for me it was a near perfect board. let me know what you think.
