Trips, but drawing.

.10/.20 NLHE home game. It's late in the night, and despite the small blinds, $1-2 is the typical come-in bet.

4 players. Hero has KK.

UTG folds. Button calls. Hero raises to $5. BB calls. Button calls.

Flop: KJT rainbow.

Button goes all-in for $16. I think. Button is loose/passive. BB behind me is a new player (to the game of poker) and looks ready to fold. I mull it over and think this:

I assume BB will fold. He's giving off some signs that way. I put the Button on JJ or JT. I know if I'm wrong I'm still about 5:1 to fill up or hit quads, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

I call. BB calls (!).

Turn: rag.

I go all-in for my remaining $20. BB calls.

River: rag. I didn't fill up.

Comments on all streets?

You're really really in the wrong forum. First, this is a limit forum. Second, this forum covers limits starting at 2/4.

My mistake. Interesting that the forum lists "x-stakes hold-em" and "x-stakes no- and pot-limit hold-em", as if Limit is "regular" poker and NL is special.

because they call.

sometimes in the commerce 2/3 NL game i will raise 15xbb preflop, if they will call.
