Trips no kicker hand.

Why would you just call? He only has $3 left, wouldn't it be alright to just put him all-in then? He's obviously not folding.

Obviously if I call, I'm calling the final $3 on the river. I think there's little to no chance he folds for the final $3 any way you play it but I think there's a fraction of a tiny bit of a percentage chance (i.e. very small) that he might fold if I raise so I'll wait and let him put it in himself.

Its really splitting hairs, though.

just call and don't be results oriented here, for better or worse. He's OOP as ghaz mentioned, he may have a pair of 3s or 7s for all you know and I'd love to see that.

Yeah, but he might also accidentally fold or something [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I know I've misclicked at least once in my life.

But yeah, I was basically just asking if there was a difference. Clearly all the money's going in the middle, so I guess there really isn't any difference whatsoever (the only thing is that I noticed people tend to regard all-in as looking more powerful, so I'm not sure if the almost all-in is a ploy to appear weaker when holding the nuts, I know if I were in his shoes, I'd just go all-in). I've also heard a guy who'll leave a dollar behind, so that he gets to see his opponent's hand first when they go all-in.

EDIT: You're right, this is splitting hairs.
