flop trip J\'s
Crazy, after moving up in stakes I have gone from too aggressive to too passive, or am I too hard on myself? I always find hitting trips with one of my hole cards one of the more difficult hands to play, do you bet this more aggressively?

Re: flop trip J\'s
It's a little weird but J-6-J is really a very similar flop to, say, J-6-2. The only differences are that 1)you are now beating an overpair and 2)there is a smaller likelihood of someone having "two pair" (i.e. a full house) since there is only one potential rag to pair. So, despite the fact that your hand is stronger than it would be on a J-6-2 flop, it seems to me like you are betting it more weakly. You are not going to get action on this hand from anyone other than another J or 66. It is much more likely that it is a weaker J than 66 or AJ so you should be trying to build the pot since another J is likely to call decent sized bets. If you are betting strongly and you face serious aggression, then you can think about laying down if you read villain as having a boat or AJ, but your initial goal should be to build the pot. I think you got lucky that he raised at all. I think most players in his position would just call down, but they would be willing to call sizeable bets so you should be making sizeable bets.

Why check the river?

Re: flop trip J\'s
Yeah, I just didn't know why the reraise on the turn and then the check on the river when it comes a blank. If you think you are ahead enough to reraise the turn and a non-scare card comes on the river, bet out.

Re: flop trip J\'s
it's a catch-22 I did think I was ahead when re-raised the turn, but then he called my raise, so it caused me to see monsters (I guess).
