After playing some nolimit ring games earlier I thought this might be worth mentioning.
 
 I have read in quite a few places that you should play sets fast (thats 3 of a kind where 2 of them are in your hand as opposed to trips which is where you hold one and 2 are on the board)
 
 Now I called with 10Jo on the small blind, probably should have raised but never mind. I was up against just the big blind and UTG now.
 
 Flop came JJx I checked it round and nothing another rag falls. Thought I would give it one more shot and checked it, still no bites. River was another rag, though turns out the big blind made runner runner straight and took a sizeable pot off me on the river.
 
 Now if I had bet out on the flop I would have probably won the small pot, or if they had called a larger bet on the turn would have given me a bigger pot. However by slowplaying a big hand on a small pot I gave one of the other 2 a chance to get lucky and he did.
 
 So instead of winning a small pot I lost a big one. Don't let this happen to you! I have a habit of missing straights on the board, soon learn to watch out for flushes, I got blinded by my hand and failed to read the board probably and lost the following raising war.
 
 Also on that table I did the same with pocket aces, cept I didn't really slow play them after the flop, I just didn't bet them strongly enough (too used to limit play) dude called and flushed me on the river.
 
 Another point which kinda ties in with this, is to not get tied to your hand. If your making big bets and someone is reraising you, chances are they have you beat. Try to learn to throw those hands away, specially in multiway pots.
