how to play 3 of a kind?

The only time I ever slow play besides when its heads up is when I have the nuts or the closest thing to it. In this case of hooking a set with KJ on it. You have to bet. Make him pay for his draw that will only happen once every three times. I see people slow play top pair and then complain about the suck out on the runner runner flush draw. My thought is.. hey .. he only paid for one card cause you let him see the turn for free.

Continue playing the hand cautiously. Bet and if he calls he may be on a draw. If he raises he may have hit two pair or his straight. Try getting to the showdown as inexpensively as possible if he has a potential hand that can beat you. You can always fold; but if his raise is not out of line try staying to hit the boat and reraise when hes committed to the pot.
