These are your normal .50/1 players. Should I have bet the flop? Raise the turn?

Bet the flop.

Cap the river.

You missed like a billion bets here. Bet the flop. Given that you didn't bet the flop, raise the turn. Cap the river. You have the second nuts. The only street you played properly was pre-flop.

I guess I did, I am a recovering victim of tilt fever. You do not think that I would have lost players by betting out?

What are you afraid of on the river? Cap that without hesitation.

I think that you played this hand perfectly.

The only thing that I would have done differently would have been to cap the river.

You had all the cards in this hand, and slowplaying had to be right. If you had shown more agression on the flop or turn, its likely that your opponents would have folded.

I know that every time one of my opponents bets a flop as the preflop raiser when checked to, I give him credit for the stone cold nuts. They will put you on a boat here like, never. And Mr. "HAHA I HAVE TRIP QUEENS" will think he's being clever by slowplaying.

Its possible that someone could have been slowplaying trip Q's.

However I suspect that when all the other players checked the flop, that none of them had anything.

I dont think that slowplaying in this hand was that bad.

Thats kind of what I was thinking but when the turn woke up everyone I had to think about someone getting luckier than I did on the hand and was playing a AA.

Never ever ever think this. You have the second nuts man. Why would someone have AA of all the hands out there, then limp it?
