Re: Step 4: Trips, out of position, no kicker
I woulda bet the flop, but might check-raise the turn.
edit: forget that, I don't want him checking behind. I'd bet 1/2 pot or so. edit: eh crap, he'll bet. check-raise. |

Re: Step 4: Trips, out of position, no kicker
I don't understand why you wouldn't try to c/r all-in, then lead river for whatever amount maximizes your value if you whiff (obviously this depends on villain). I think we're too shallow to get away, but I don't think that's your plan anyways.
What were your thoughts for the hand pf and on the flop, and what were you planning to do on a blank turn? |

[/ QUOTE ] The key to this hand is that it is a Step 4, where 5th place is OK (re-ride in Step 4), 1-4th are the same (Movin' on up) and anything else sucks, so there is a fair amount of tightness still at this point. My plan was to defend my blind and move him off his hand or hit a homerun if the cards fell right. I did not want to see an ace, I wanted to see clubs or low cards. When the first ace hit, I felt behind. When the second hit I felt confused. I, too often, cite the rule of exclusion in these situations and get outkicked. |

[/ QUOTE ] Oh, okay, some important stuff in there. Well if you were confused on the flop I don't see why you don't lead for 2/3 and make the hand much easier to play. This is not just in the case of taking the easiest line, but I believe in this spot the line with least confusion also has the highest EV. When you check call and make trips there is too much in the pot relative to your holding to try and get away IMO. So then I would do what I said in my first post and try and get the money in. I know sometimes you get duped by a better A and then that third A was the worst card you could've seen, but you've bloated the pot too much to fold now given that his range could be huge. He could've made that flop bet with the exact same range he raised you with, and that second A is only going to further his belief that you don't have one. I think folding pf is fine, but calling is too. Since you did that I lead this particular flop and don't put much more in. Since you didn't do that, I get it all-in however I can on this particular turn. |

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. |
