Wow, I don't try this even when the blinds are uber-tight. What does PT say your "Attempt to steal blinds %" is?

Zulu, can you tell me where I went wrong here? Should I have 3-bet PF?

This is the second time I've tried the 52o bluff... and once again, it should've worked.

If there were a "Gregorian Chant" feature on 2+2, it would be most appropriate here.

I need more practice with this hand, it is almost too powerful. I got it yesterday in the BB and I decided to slowplay it instead of raising pre-flop. I flopped trips, of course, but in the end UTG won with 56o. Clearly UTG has recognized the power of hands similar to 52o and he'll soon be an opponent you'll want to avoid.
