Default Re: $109 Party Hand - Trip Jacks vs. another big stack on river

When someone deviates this much from my established impression I thread carefully.
I dont fancy raising it PF to much as the hand is speculative, maybe best- but difficult to play out of position and I dont like investing to much in it. Sometimes however I try to imagine what an interesting flopp would make me do and how much I would invest in it and pop it up abit, if called then I either need to flopp a monster or I`ll go for the cheap route and fold a significant amount of time to resistance-abit weak thight from the blinds perhaps, but has been my nr.1 spot to bust from lately.

On flopp I see my self check raising more often then not. Your bet can be seen in a number of ways-most often I put you on a draw when you bet like this. As villains behaviour is unusual to his true self I want to know how interested he is in this flopp. The check raise leaves us with some more information? If one plans to bet 2/3 of pot now and fire again on turn-one can achieve more with somewhat less invested by c/r. I can see someone playing AA-KK like this. And small pp`s. Suited connectors to maybe, KJ QJ TJ . But I wouldnt trust myself to much with that, him being agressive. I think he would bring it in for a raise if 99-55? Then maybe he is afraid to get reraised to a bid he cant call? As it looks like stealing and his image may well encourage someone to test him, resent beat in mind not to tempting?

The more I look at the hand the more I feel he has ducks and his continuous calling on a scary board is enough to have me slowdown when thinking.If he put me on a draw and called what seems to be my made hand, he must have redraw with potential or made hand, unless retarded. Only contradiction is him not raising the flopp when two suited, but it is no guarantee apart from him playing this set poorly.Or he fears you will push what he believes is your draw? How does he percieve you?

I dont know on this river I hate it when I`m right, but call just to get it in my face. Sometimes you just lay down a winner. There is interest in the pot, but plenty chips to work with. Many times I would go " Hey! I got tripps and shortly after go, Hey I am out! But on a good day I c/f any bet above 1/2 pot. I believe AA KK takes the free showdown? But I would c/r flopp
