Default Re: Any way to avoid busting out in this situation?

The reasons I don't like raising is
1) you can't stand a reraise. There are people that limp with AA from early position.

2) if you get a caller, I don't think this is an easy hand to play post flop unless you basic strategy is to fold to any overcards if your opponent bets and you don't hit your trips.

Betting gives you a good chance to win the 3.5 bb in the pot. Limping gives you the chance to double up when the trips fall.

With JJ and TT I am more likely to raise since if I get a caller, there is a greater chance that no overcard will flop and if a J or T comes, that card is likely to make my opponent a better hand and encourage them to bet along.
