I've Finally Lost My Mind

Yep, 2nd pair, crappy kicker, no draw.

There is no reason to call this down. The only reason to call the flop is to set up a bluff. If you are going to do that, you should probably make a decent sized raise on the turn to represent trips that are now protecting against the draws. If you want to represent hitting the straight on the turn, I guess you can wait until the river and push.

If you are going to make a gigabet-like move, I think you should raise the turn because you can still represent a solid hand without risking your whole stack.

This is exactly what I didn't do when I was playing against SevnFigures last night where I made a stupid-ass bluff with my whole stack.

In the other thread, I was talking about times where you are probably ahead of a donkey who is trying to make value bets with 2nd pair or TPcrappyK.

Gigabet, if you don't think my use of 'gigabet-like' is appropriate here, feel free to challenge me to a $10 HU match.
