These are your normal .50/1 players. Should I have bet the flop? Raise the turn?

Bet the flop.

Cap the river.

Re: A hand for your examination
 

You missed like a billion bets here. Bet the flop. Given that you didn't bet the flop, raise the turn. Cap the river. You have the second nuts. The only street you played properly was pre-flop.

What are you afraid of on the river? Cap that without hesitation.

Re: A hand for your examination
 

I think that you played this hand perfectly.

The only thing that I would have done differently would have been to cap the river.

You had all the cards in this hand, and slowplaying had to be right. If you had shown more agression on the flop or turn, its likely that your opponents would have folded.

if i knew you personally and you posted this hand (real or not), i would kill you.

I know that every time one of my opponents bets a flop as the preflop raiser when checked to, I give him credit for the stone cold nuts. They will put you on a boat here like, never. And Mr. "HAHA I HAVE TRIP QUEENS" will think he's being clever by slowplaying.

Re: A hand for your examination
 

Don't slowplay this hand. It's likely someone is willing to pay you off good. If not, don't worry. Plus when you bet it looks like a continuation bet on a scary board.

Betting the flop is a good thing. I don't hate that you didn't bet it. But the lack of a turn raise and river cap is absolutely absurd.

Re: A hand for your examination
 

Its possible that someone could have been slowplaying trip Q's.

However I suspect that when all the other players checked the flop, that none of them had anything.

I dont think that slowplaying in this hand was that bad.
