Well, I did want some comments and everyone has spoken. Trapping with pocket 5's bad. I figured I was at leat a slight favorite against ace high, and wanted to get called. But, I know it could have gone the other way too. The way I look at it. Is this is any different than playing pocket kings. If an ace flops, I'm done too. As a matter of fact, the last few times I've had kings they were very unlucky for me against ace high. But, I went in with the best hand here. Although technically I would have loved to see that flop first.

How many overs do pocket Kings have? Now how many do pocket 5s have? Subtract the second number from the first number. If that number is more than 3 or so, it's too high.

To turn the tables, would you ever trap with 22? Of course not.

FWIW, if I knew my opponent had Q3o here, I'd prefer a fold from him to a call of my push. Does that help clear things up?
