Trip 5\'s bad kicker
 

Commerce $5 $10 NL

Loose player makes it $30 to go on the button, I call from BB with 45s and 6 players see the flop of 5h-5c-10c, 2 clubs. I check to the raiser hoping for a check raise but it is checked around. Turn is Kh and I bet $100, UTG raises $200 to $300, I have $330 left. ?

No reason for them to think you have anything good. He could be raising with many many hands, the majority of which you beat. Folding is terribly weak. And lead flop from your position to catch unbelievers in the middle. If UTG was pfr fine, but since its button, leading imo is better.

Thanks, I went all in and felt good about my play just wanted to get some confirmation.

Re: Trip 5\'s bad kicker
 

Since this sounds like a loose game and so many players saw the flop it is very concievable that another 5 is out there. However, unless UTG is pretty terrible I would assume that he wouldn't enter the pot with any hand that contained a 5. I don't think that TT would play this hand so fast and try to shut out everyone else behind. Therefore, it sounds like AK, KQs, or big draw like QJ clubs or hearts, or AT of hearts. I think you are ahead here 90% of the time but UTG will probably have a lot of outs. Therefore, go all-in.

Don't sweat the a-holes that provide no insight but take the time to make some witty reply. In my opinion, the whole point is to try and learn and seems like you are trying to do that.

Dont call the raise PF with that hand If you are not willing to put the money in when you hit something!
