Default Re: Confusing AKo hand, flopped trips

Yeah slowplaying trips in a 3way pot like this is horrible (unless you have a GOOD reason to, known donk bluffer, etc. Your reason wasn't a REALLY good reason, because people are slightly less prone to bluff 3-way pots with others left to act and suspcious flop check).

A GOOD flop to slowplay like this is if you raise 87s, and flop comes 772r. That flop lends itself better to a slowplay, because it's harder for them to put you on the 7 since you preflop raised (although slowplaying here isn't always great either, it has it's ups).

Turn is PARTICULARLY bad, imo. What are you trying to get to fold, or do you think you have best hand and are trying to get value? I have a sneaking suspcion, if you did NOT hold the K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], you would not be making this reraise here. Since you have little fold equity, I highly suggest calling the turn raise, seeing what you can hit on river and hoping for cheap showdown (without improvement, of course). If a worse ace checks behind on river, so be it, you screwed up flop.

By the time river comes, allin is really only play, because you swelled up pot so much with your turn 3-bet. Any better hands bet (and I'm assuming you are not capable of folding AAAK here), and any worse hands check behind.
