Too aggro? Fold to the river raise?

[@bsolute_luck]

you'd have to have a read here. would people slowplay trips or Top Pair? what were the table conditions- tight, passive, aggressive? anybody noticably waiting 'til river to bet?

i don't think i'd bet out the turn either being first to act. i'd wait to see what others did. the pot is small and not really worth fighting over. if it's checked through i'd bet the river though.

that said, i'd call the river though you're probably beaten and you should fold. i have an expensively bad habit of being curious for 1 bet [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Are you really hoping to get called when you bet the river? IOW, how much value do you think you are getting when you bet the riv?

How about open-fold the turn? Not seriously, but you've 4 players voluntarily putting money into the pot PF, and you don't think one of them has an ace that he's stupid enough to slow-play? In .5/1? C'mon, Shelly!

Check/fold the turn. I don't think there's zero chance you're ahead, here, but you're not ahead enough to be playing this small a pot OOP. If it checks through on the turn, do it again on the river. If it checks through on the river then you win 2.75BB, don't spend it all in one place.
