Let me know how I played this hand.
I decided to slow play trips on the flop. Then I was re-raised on the turn. The player was fairly tight, so I wasnt sure if maybe he also had trips or better, yet wasnt sure if he necessarly had better trips. So I thought I ought to call him down.

Unraised pot and the board is drawless on the flop.
I like betting out or check-raising the flop(if there is an aggro player to my left). The way you played it - what if 'FISHY' does not bet the turn and it checks through? That would have been bad. If you lost this hand that is just how it goes sometimes. |

if you c/r the flop people will not often give you credit for trips. i c/r flop and lead turn.

Thanks that makes sense.
I actually lost to a boat, TP had 33. But I figured that wasnt very relative to the hand. I actually was going to check raise at first but after I saw that I had 3 other players in it I somehow thought it would be a good hand to try to slow play. But like you said though it would of sucked if the turn got checked thru. (probally easier to slow play if I wasnt OOP) |

Against the typical low limit lineup slowplaying isn't necessary, but this is the kind of situation where you could consider doing so (unraised pot, rainbow flop with no draws).
I usually bet the flop or try to get in a check-raise if I have a likely bettor to my left. I think you played it fine, given your choice of plan. You can't fold, and putting in more raises seems like a bad idea, so just call down after Villains 3-bet. |

I think you played it fine. Slowplaying sucks. [/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Just bet the flop. Nobody will believe you. Going for a c/r against this field on this board kinda sucks imo. What draws can they bet? What pairs? I think it gets checked through too often and if a late position player bets, you probably can't raise. |

I thought Hero bet out, not check/called. Uggh. Do what Jake said. I don't know why you didn't bet the flop. Since you didn't do that, you should have at least check-raised, but betting is better. The non-confusing part of last statement still stands: [ QUOTE ] Slowplaying sucks. [/ QUOTE ] |

I was actually planning on check-raising but then I changed my mind and called, hoping to pick up more bets on the turn.
But as someone else mentioned the real problem with all of this is I ran the risk of having the TURN checked thru which would of really stunk, so I should of just bet out the flop and let them all along, like you said they werent likely to put me on a 9 anyway. |
