Re: Trips facing river aggression

Does this guy like to chase gutshots? J10 looks likely if that's the case.

What worries me is the two cold calls. This may seem weak, but unless I've seen him do this with worse hands before, I fold.

Re: Trips facing river aggression

what do you beat? not AQ, not KQ...have you seen him min-raise preflop with either of those before?

Re: Trips facing river aggression

I think this is a fold, although I might have bet the river a little harder so I wouldn't feel so bad about folding... either I bet $30-$35 and fold to raise, or I check-call up to that amount. But given your read on him the bet size probably wasn't a problem.

Usually when weak-tight calling stations raise you on the end, they have the goods. They just play their cards.
