$33 - flop trips, turn an UGLY full house

[junkmail3]

I'm interested in how many people would call this push.

I'm most interested in the 'why' of your decision.

FOLD...you will still have 640 left to play, and i dont see villain betting there without a King (very unlikely he plays that position with a 6).

Read-dependent. Lacking a read I'd fold against a typical $33 player, who I would expect to trip over themselves to get their chips in with a king.

I think the problem here is not betting the turn. I think you could safely fold to an ott push of a 100 blocking bet knowing you're beat. As it stands, he could simply be pushing because you checked.

Yeah, my read wasn't really that good on him. After hands like these I tell myself to never slowplay again. But then I do.

if I bet the turn I put 100 into a 320 pot, he pushes.

Now there is 840 and I need to call 320. This would tempt me. There are 2 kings. Does he really have one often enough for me not to call profitably? Now if I check and he pushes the odds are a little less tempting.

Not a justification for not blocking, but just a thought.

Yeah, the pot odds are tempting... BUT, I'll say this- against a typical $33er (which I'll have to assume he is w/o a read) I don't think he comes ott enough with air not to feel confident you're beat. I don't think the typical $33er has that move in his arsenal.

If he's solid, you check/raise the flop. OR, check/call and get dealt, oh, I don't know, ANY OTHER card besides a king on the turn... man, this crud is FIXED!! "only at PP" /images/graemlins/smirk.gif
