Play these trips any different?

[wegs the wegs]

Nothing spectacular about the villian on this one. Semi-loose/passive player not too horrible but no where near being called good.

Just another reason why I need to stop playing on UB. I just can't seem to win. It's not rigged. However the beatings are becoming expected and with that piling up in my mind I just can't afford to play there anymore.

I apologize if this is a bad beat post and comes off as whiny. I just reread the post and it sounded a bit childish, forgive me.

[xorbie]

That's how I would play it too. Bad beats suck, oh well.

[TrailofTears]

Yeah, it is a bit whiny. Nothing you can do here. No draws came in and villain didn't overplay his trips at all, so there is nothing you can do. He saw your agression (not bad, btw) and used it against you.

[neuroman]

Yeah, I'd probably do the same.

[joewatch]

Consider checking the turn. Definitely check the river. You have to be afraid of AT.

[Siawyn]

Check the turn to induce a "bluff" by an ace on the river? Bad luck he hit his 3 outer but he didn't overplay his hand or anything.

Don't check the turn. You played it fine.

[xorbie]

He didn't use it again the OP per se, because he only made his hand on the river and by then he has no choice, it's a clear call.

[kevin017]

well played. if you're up against someone who's only so-so i think a push is fine on the river, but i myself might check it, and if you're having variance problems I think checking in situations like this would help you out. your hand is good but far from unbeatable, and if he's called this far you should give him credit for something.

You played it unlucky. That's it. Don't second guess yourself.

[punter11235]

I would raise preflop here.
After flop I think there is no way you can get away with that hand.

[-Skeme-]

Why would you raise it preflop?

[punter11235]

I think K10o is not much worse hand than UTG limper's one and I dont want to let blinds see the flop for free.
Furthermore I can usually pick the pot if flop missed both of us (limper and me) as I have position here.
Is it too aggressive ? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[-Skeme-]

Depends on the table. To use your position and get aggressive to take the pot away on the flop when they miss is a viable reason to raise, but it seems like it'd just push out the weaker hands and keep in the stronger ones.

Also, I forgot to mention to OP. Fold this preflop.

[emil3000]

I'd raise it with the right limpers, like tight ones. Against loose limpers that are likely to call I avoid raising with bad hands. Not many tight players on that level tho.

[-Skeme-]

Correct, which is why I think folding this is good. KTo sucks. Postflop it was played fine, though. Just bad luck.

[punter11235]

My understanding is : if limpers are likely to call my raise with weak hands that's great I will raise more, because my K10o is better than average loose limper hands. Additionaly I would usually win against: suited connectors, lower pair, unsuited connectors, one gap connectors without much fight, because people usually play them in the "hit or fold" manner.

Yeah, but villain checked the river instead of betting, risking the check behind from hero. That is all I meant.
