Default Yeah, I flopped trips!

Standard boring blind hand.

Party 100+9

Level 1, Me and Villian are both around our starting stacks.

Folded to SB who completes, I check with K4o in the BB.

Flop is 6s, Ks, Kd

He checks, I bet 40 and he calls.

Turn is the Qc

He checks, I bet 80 and he checkraises to 200. I call

River is the 8d and he pushes. Hero thinks a bit and calls.


OK, first I don't think there is anything particularly interesting about this hand other than it illustrated how much I hate flopping trips with a crappy kicker.

If he had bet something like 400 on the river, I would have hated having to call. If he check-raises me all-in on the river I feel even worse about calling. Is there any action that would make someone fold a hand like this?

Why call here if you're calling a low river card that won't counterfeit most better kings? Do you think he bluffs the river enough?

The check-raise on the turn after smooth-call tells me you're in kicker trouble and he/she is representing the case king.

Or... could have a PP and is guess you don't have the king.

I would check this turn 100% of the time. I'm not expecting to be against a draw here so I don't mind taking the card, and calling a possible bluff river bet that usually won't be allin.

The only way you're getting tons of action in this hand is if you're beaten, so I want to get my trips to showdown as cheaply as possible.

I agree, I would not call the push on the river. Too much too early with a vulnerable hand.

This flop is not particularly good for you and the CR on the turn makes your hand pretty worthless.

Check the turn and call some reasonable bets down.

When he pushes the river I am pretty much positive he doesn't have a K. I don't know what he has, but I'm 95% sure I have the best hand. Most people just don't overbet the pot with trips or better here.

Meh. Many good players will push the river here, knowing that an overbet is the best way to extract chips from Kx. If I had 66 or AK, I would nearly always push this river. If a good player like you will call with K4, then a call station will definitely call a push.

People are stupid idiots on partypoker. I would bet the flop, Id bet the turn, and I'd call the checkraise and then call the river. I'd be unhappy about calling the river but I'd ask myself "would some random partypoker idiot play a king like this", and the answer would usually be "no".
