Default Re: SNG, I can\'t fold trips right?

You're right in that it's a good idea to mix up your play a little. The psychologial aspect of the game is worth enough to make many marignally-minus EV situations +EV from the implied odds alone. I'm not saying it's never right to play wierd hands occasionally. Here are some problems I see with doing it in your situation.

1) You probably have to play the hand out of position postflop. There are three to your right and ?? to your left.

2) Your hand is not good for multiway pots, which this will be if you limp. With QJ suited, limping might be feasible from a good post-flop player. I'm not good enough to do this yet but there are many who post here who could tell you what to do with it.

3) If people have been folding to your raises, for god-XXXXXXX-sake raise if you feel you have to play this particular hand. At least you're more likely to play the hand in position by raising.

I didn't mean to be a dick to you but that limp is really, really, bad.
