A9o - Inches from my first trifecta!

[JoshuaD]

Both villians are pretty laggy. MP3 has been trying to come after me after my set beat up his aces, so he's hanging around in this hand because he wants to beat me (I think). The other player is an aggressive fish, I figured I was ahead on the flop, but wasn't too confident. I was gonna call down, saw the 9 and I started seeing gold.

Rather than call the turn and go for another checkraise on the river, why not just cap the turn and bet the river? You win the same size pot this way.

If you goal is simply to get the trifecta though, go for it.

Awesome! Is she doing her ping-pong ball trick?

Now, you do know that when you make your trifecta, it's all the more awesome if you do it after a senseless limp reraise pre-flop, right?
