well, no. i couldn't fold the boat. in case i am up against pocket 5s or tens... well, so be it. you have a boat. either way, your supposed to win or loose big.

i would smooth call to hopefully get utg and mp2 in the pot and push all in on the river.

but let me guess, mp2 had some overpair, utg tried to buy the pot on the flop with AK soothed and co had TT? /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Actually I figured I should smoothcall the flop hoping to fill up and if I don't, fold it since someone has the trips aswell.

I filled up and hell, I aint folding no boat here.
I pushed the rest of my stack and both called.

I took it down with my house vs. K4 and 66.

Before seeing your results.....

why would you smooth call to fill up when your opponent could have a full house already, and if not has as an equally likely chance to fill up? Your trips beat two other possible trips out there....... and you called a over pot sized bet.

The question should be regarding your flop play.

bet or raise the flop man. once you make the boat you should be happy getting all your money in.

Yes, but not with the current pot size and stack sizes.
