Default Re: Three pair on flop ... what to do??

I would not fold this hand PF for half of a bet.

When you get raised on the flop, I would call. There are 12 small bets in the pot and it is likely you will get two more from the players who called your opening bet. So I think you have good enough odds to draw to your full house even if you are only playing for half the pot. Why be afraid of a flush draw when you are trying to make a full house? There are a wide range of hands that the raiser could be playing. I think laying your hand down was a mistake.

If you fear getting raised then a better course of action would be to check and call.
