Folding Trips on the River

slipoker · #1 06-05-2005, 08:31 PM

Both players are showing fish tendencies but only have 30 hands each on both of them. Just looking for advice on the hand in itself, especailly the river.

I would have bet the turn, but how you played it I think you have to fold the river.

I don't think it's going to make much difference if you call or fold. I would call because I hate folding decent hands when the river is a 4-flush.

You need to bet that turn. Makes river so much easier.

Definitely bet the turn. The river plays differently that way.

Alright so if I had bet the turn, assuming I get two callers again and one leads out the river, then do I fold or just call it expecting to see the flush?

If you had bet the turn and both opponents called, I would call the river bet...your hand is not good very often, but I think it is good often enough to showdown (~1 in 9 times).

You beat everyone who doesn't hold a spade, and players bluff in these spots more often than you think. Show down your hand for one more bet.

Bet the turn.
I don't mind the river fold given the pot size. But I'd probably call it down.

I agree. THis is actually a good spot for villain to bluff, even against 2 opponents.
