Default Re: Step 4: Trips, out of position, no kicker

I definitely don't like leading at any point in this hand. What does donk-betting the turn accomplish? The turn didn't make anybody's hand better or worse (unless he had 64, which is obviously unlikely). If he plays, he's going to make it difficult on you by flat calling or raising. Either one is going to make you sick. Or he could fold, in which case you've lost a significant amount of value on your hand if he had nothing but would continue to bet (no draws on the board, so if he's behind, he's either dead or needing a 2 outter). So by leading out you either lose the maximum or possibly fold the best hand, and win the minimum if you're ahead.

I play it from behind the whole way.
