I played this one really passively because I didn't feel like there were any draws out there to worry about giving free cards to.

What hands would you put SB and MP2 on given the flop action?

Who raises flop and/or turn?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed)

MP1 (t1175)
MP2 (t660)
MP3 (t675)
CO (t660)
Button (t775)
SB (t1085)
Hero (t800)
UTG (t785)
UTG+1 (t800)
UTG+2 (t585)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls t15, MP2 calls t15, MP3 calls t15, CO calls t15, Button folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t90) 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets t50</font>, Hero calls t50, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t50, MP3 folds, CO folds.

Turn: (t240) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets t150</font>, Hero calls t150, <font color="CC3333">MP2 raises to t595 (All-In)</font>, SB folds, Hero calls t445.

River: (t1580) 7/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

I personally would have raised the flop. Trips are always vulnerable. On this flop there are loads dangerous free cards you could be giving: letting an overpair find trips, players drawing to a straight. But more importantly, someone has already shown strength, so there's a good chance you may get all your chips in here.

On the turn, I think it's imperitive to push all-in here. Again, strength has been shown, and that straight possibility is rather more likely. I think I'd be happy to take the pot uncontested here on the turn.
