Hi people.

Got into this situation recently.

PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 98.5 BB (VPIP: 17.33, PFR: 9.33, 3Bet Preflop: 9.38, Hands: 75)
BTN: 114 BB (VPIP: 21.74, PFR: 17.39, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 24)
Hero (SB): 109.5 BB
BB: 108 BB (VPIP: 22.50, PFR: 12.50, 3Bet Preflop: 7.14, Hands: 40)
UTG: 30.5 BB (VPIP: 18.18, PFR: 9.09, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 11)
MP: 132.5 BB (VPIP: 34.78, PFR: 34.78, 3Bet Preflop: 14.29, Hands: 24)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 5♦ 5♣

UTG raises to 2 BB, fold, fold, BTN calls 2 BB, Hero calls 1.5 BB, BB calls 1 BB

Flop: (8 BB, 4 players) 5♥ 4♦ K♣
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, BTN checks

Turn: (8 BB, 4 players) 8♥
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, BTN checks

River: (8 BB, 4 players) T♣
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, BTN checks

Hero shows 5♦ 5♣ (Three of a Kind, Fives)
(Pre 21%, Flop 87%, Turn 75%)
BTN mucks 9♦ 8♦ (One Pair, Eights)
(Pre 31%, Flop 5%, Turn 0%)
BB mucks 5♠ 9♠ (One Pair, Fives)
(Pre 13%, Flop 0.3%, Turn 0%)
UTG mucks 6♥ A♥ (High Card, Ace)
(Pre 35%, Flop 8%, Turn 25%)
Hero wins 7.5 BB

I chose to slowplay because of the rainbow flop and the 4way situation. I know it was a mistake not to consider opponent stats but I got kinda excited and was sure that someone shall bet anyway. I'd like to know what should I have done differently and how should I have reacted to different opponent action. Thank you.

You have the best hand and should bet it. Regardless of stats, even if UTG has AK here, he'll be careful in a more or less limped pot. He might bet it (small) once, but will certainly call a big bet from you, he might even raise it. One of the other limpers might easily have 44/K4/K5 and will call/raise or have 67s or any pair and gets a free draw to a straight or better set.

It is obligatory to start betting off the flop with your set in a MW pot.

Thank you for the answers. Will never slowplay a set in a situation like this.

You call to make a set, and when you make it, you should try to get paid.
