Re: Flopped Trips on UB 200
gonna need reads but I say he has fullhouse or is bluffing a missed flush draw.
if I feel he is incapable of a bluff on a missed draw, I fold here. preflop, I like a raise to $12. |

[/ QUOTE ] I never do this with AJo in the blinds at a full table-- what do you do if you're called, the flop comes A-high and you get action (to simplify, lets say the flop is relatively drawless, too)? You're out of position and might be severly dominated (AQ is a hand that often limps, but will call a raise). I know its a general question, but I don't like playing big pots out of position with a hand like this. |

Re: Flopped Trips on UB 200
by raising preflop out of the blinds, I represent a very strong hand.
Yes I will be out of position for the hand but I won't be out of position against multiple players. if played at on the flop, I can decide on the flop whether I'm best or not. Its obvious what hand I'm representing if there is an A on the flop and I bet it and thus I can better define it. I usually don't have to worry about villain with 2 pair, I don't have to worry about villain with A higher kicker. Where as with a limped pot, you flop an A, you don't know if villain is playing back with A worse kicker (AT, A9 because he thinks he has you outkicked) or whether he has 2 pair. In otherwords, when I raise with the hand, I can actually find out where I am much cheaper than when I limp the hand and flop is not automatic check fold if it comes all unders. I don't do this at 50 and below but I feel at 200s and maybe select 100s, raising out of the blinds with AJ is fine. Its even better if its fullring as people are generally tighter, more sensible. |

Re: Flopped Trips on UB 200
If there is just one ace it is highly possible that someone flopes two bullshit pair a set a straight draw etc.
When everybody limps and I hit 2 aces with a jack kicker I expect that I have the best hand. I have folded trips many times when I was sure I was behind but here I was sure I was ahead. I called and will post shortly. |

Re: Flopped Trips on UB 200
I've raised AQ out of the blinds, gotten called by AK and then lost a bundle on an A-high flop with a flush draw out (causing me to play a fairly big pot to give the possible flush draw bad odds). Now, obviously, that is just bad results influencing play but I felt I was likely ahead the whole way because AK usually raises. With AJ, I have two hands that can screw me (AK and AQ). Maybe I will try raising out of the blinds with AJ the next few times it happens and see how it goes. Are you raising ATo as well?

Re: Flopped Trips on UB 200
I haven't raised AT as of yet. I think I'm less likely to do so with early position limpers in full ring.
I do it fairly often in 6 max though. if you are playing with guys who open limp AK/AQ then yeah, it sucks, but typically this is not the case. my most hated situation is mid position minraises and I find myself with AJ or AT in the blinds. |

Re: Flopped Trips on UB 200
really this question comes down to 1 thing. do you think you the best hand preflop?
if yes, you should raise. |
