Default Re: $10-20 - When do I give up?

Couple of different ways to play this. I like your play until the turn. Being out of position with two callers on the scary flop, I would suspect a slow playing fh, or trips as you likely did. But, checking the turn allows YOU to make it three bets -- a cap then makes it an easy fold -- especially when they haven't seen you.

Few more different plays.

1) Check-raise the flop to make the trips declare themselves. Even with small bets, someone facing calling two cold with trips will cap. Then on the turn you are more certain of where u stand.

2) Check-call the turn/river. I know this is a weak play, but getting others to bet your hand is half the battle on a six-handed game. Not a bad play, IMO. Then you have a weak image which can be easily exploited when they don't know you.

3) Call two bets pre-flop and check fold the flop. Being out of position sucks in short games.
