Default Re: Call All In with Trips?

I can almost answer this question without looking at the hand. You can probably fold on a 3-card SF flop, but apart from that, if you NEVER fold trips your play won't be far from optimal.

Even if he has a made straight or flush, you have 7 outs on the turn and 10 on the river to win, giving you roughly 2/1 odds to fill up. That means you're almost right to call even if you KNOW he has a straight. (Edit: misread the pot size -- you're not getting anywhere near 2/1 here, but the point remains the same.)

No way you can lay this one down.
