AKs, flop trips, slowplay? $33

[pergesu]

What do you do on stuff like this? I've got the deck crippled...check behind, or just hope someone has the case king?

Do whatever you normally do with AQ here.

I don't think you could have done much differently. I too would have lead out about 1/3 of the pot, and hoped they had anything to call with.

[alphatmw]

i would have slowplayed. i don't think you're afraid of any hands, and even though it might be obvious that your slowplaying a king later on, you might get a few more chips out of it.

[bkbluedevil]

Your best chance of getting paid off with this hand is simply to lead out and hope someone has a worse king. By the time they figure out they aren't good, all the money will be in the center. However if you take a line like check then raise later in the hand someone should get away from a hand like KQ there. A bet here is a lot less suspicious than a check.

I disagree with the previous posters. You still have one player behind you on the button left to act. Go ahead and check. Even if someone picks up a flush draw on the turn you are still at least a 4-1 favorite. If someone is sitting on a pair and hits their full house on the turn, you still have a redraw on the river.

With the non paired card being a 2, no one is going to call you. Now if it's a card in the playing range like 10 or above, go ahead and bet because you might get a call with 2 pair and you need to charge any possible draws. Also bet if there are 2 of the same suit on the flop. In this case there is not.

I like checking here quite a bit more if OP doesn't c-bet everything he misses. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Exactly what I was thinking, checking just isn't my style /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Then I would venture you are giving up a ton of free money.

People LOVE to bluff. All they need is someone to give them the "OK" to do so by checking.

This is an ideal flop for a slowplay. Milk them like a Holstein.

[jadducci]

Ya thats about as safe a flop as your going to see, no flush draw or anything so I would say its safe and probably more profitable to at least check the flop and hope for some action on 4th. Your small continuation bet seems like a reasonably good play though.

[sirdeej2]

I like the small continuation bet because you give yourself the chance to win a bigger pot than you do by checking. People will recognize the slow play on the turn and shut down. The best part about the continuation bet is that when (edit: if) you are called you can check the turn saying "take the pot from me, I have nothing". Now you get not 1 but 2 bets out of this monster flop. I think the continuation bet gets the most chips out of you opponent here.

[Taraz]

How about a minbet? It's better than a check IMO because people almost everyone is likely to call for only 15 chips.

Personally I'd make about the same bet you did, but I think minbetting is better than checking.
