I don't mind the way you played it. Maybe raise the flop. A flush draw or top pair might come along. You just got unlucky that that 4 came.

Fold Preflop.

Bet more on the flop, I would probably have fired 600 min at the flop.

Unraised pot, with a flushing board, multi-handed, no way on God's green earth am I letting someone get a cheap turn card. Pop to t1000 (and if they're loose enough to call, probably go broke here).

Thanks for the advice, guys. I just totally got flustered with this hand. It was a tight table, which is why I limped because nobody was doing much raising. I should have folded it PF, and most times I would. When the trips came, I was delighted except for the flush draw. If I raised the flop bet, I'm pretty much committed to the hand. The 4s killed me.

Lately, I've gone broke so often with good hands I'm starting to get gunshy. That's definitely not good. Probably why I pussed out.

Don't put results up. But, the BB is betting into 4 guys in an unraised pot here, there is a pretty good chance he likes his hand. Raising with trips is almost never bad IMO.
