Trip 8's are unbeatable (more content)

[kyro]

I hate playing from the SB. I hate hitting trips with several players because when I do, instead of thinking "OK, let's not go broke in case someone has a better kicker than I do", I think "OMG I'M GOING TO WIN SO MUCH MONEY!!!"

So...this is as bad as it looks isn't it? Here's my guess. Bet the flop, fold to a huge raise?

At the tens I think the way you played this hand is fine. But you should fold to the reraise all in unless your up against a known maniac. The key point of the hand is that the all in reraise is coming from someone who just called after a bet and a call. Then reraised the check raiser all in. No other pair would be played like this, as you would expect a raise from this player right away.

This hand is actually easier to get away from the way you played it, rather then leading the flop.
