Re: Flopped trips with a weak ace?
It's funny, I started thinking about that as well.
You were getting almost 5:1 odds on the call preflop after the raise. Assuming that at least one of those hands beats your kicker and another is a higher ace, then I don't think 5:1 is enough. From twodimes, you are 12.8% to win against AQo, JJ, and 88.
However, if someone doesn't have a pocket pair that beats your kicker, then I think ATs is enough. From twodimes, you are 20.8% to win against AQo, 88, 55.
Unscientifically, I just averaged those two together to get 16.8%. Which, amazingly is almost exactly the percentage you need when getting 5:1.
Well played? I think: probably yes.
