What do you do here? I was playing at a table where people would play almost any hand, and and no one was hitting trips.

Nemmy - You bet.

As simulated you win about four hands out of five, but you only win half the pot when you win.

Whatever you bet, lets say two valuable chips, four times out of five you'll win half as much (one chip) and one time out of five you'll lose the two chips.

If you could make this bet five hundred times, you figure to net 200 chips.
Here's my math:
400*(+1) = +400
100*(-2) = -200
+400-200 = +200

It's even better than that, because your opponents have not been betting as though anyone has a higher set.

Since the odds are very much on your side, you bet what you can afford to lose.

I think you never bet more than you can afford to lose.

Just my opinion. I haven't read the other opinions yet. I'll read them after I post this. (Maybe someone else will already have written the same general idea as me, and my independent thinking will reinforce their idea).
