Re: Flopped trips (again), worst turn card possible.
[ QUOTE ]
Why would we bet the river but not raise the turn?
If he has a king maybe he's planning to check/raise the river.

because his river check tells us he does not have a king often, and his flop bet/call tells us he does not have a 9 often. but back when he bet the turn, it really looked like a 9 or king or bluff, so we just want to get to show down. now that we see his river check, we can go back and say that on the turn he was likely betting either ace high or possibly was randomly bluffing.
betting is our only chance to get something out of ace high. if he is attempting to c/r a king, bravo to him. you will not see this play often.
