Default Re: AK flopped trips with lots of aggression

Yes, don't fold in a big pot for 1 more bet is one of the things you will learn when you come to this forum. It's a good rule when you begin but to get really better you must give yourself odds to have the best hand all the time. I know you don't do that and probably most of the posters don't do it on the river. I try to figure out what chance I have that I would win. There are about 22BB in the pot when it's back to you, now what chance do you have that your hand is still the best? I think it's about 98% that you are beat by either the SB or button. When you think it's 95% that you are beat it's very close and you have to call. When you think it's 93% that you're beat you have a clear call. This probably sounds a little vage but you will get better in doing this when you practice.

Because I think it's about 98% that you're beat I would fold the river too when the button raises and the SB calls. This time it's probably even less that 98% that you have the best hand.
