Default Re: 5/10 :: Stud/8 :: Rolled Up 4s

With small rolled-up trips, I try to mimic a strong low where possible. On third street, I would usually limp and then raise when it came back to me. This is something that I do with strong lows all the time. In a very loose game, I would just make it a full bet on the first pass.

I like a raise on fourth as well. I'm guessing that 3T isn't going to call anyway. Raising looks natural, and people won't know whether you're on a low, a flush, or something else.

I would three-bet on fifth without thinking, but when 874 caps it, it sure looks like you're behind. You have a very strong low board, and he doesn't seem to care, so I doubt that he has just a low. Perhaps he has a set, in which case you're in trouble. I think his most likely hand is a straight. In the heat of battle, I would probably raise at least once on sixth, but given the chance to think about it, I think you did well to just call. Hope he had two pair.
