1/2 Party: Hit trips with medium kicker out of position..
Hey!
I don't like the way I played it.. Please help! What should I do on the Flop? I was thinking about re-raise him on the Flop. But if he only called my bet I would be in deep [censored] on the Turn. He could have a flush draw or the KJ/AJ that would crush me. And I wouldn't feel great about fire a big bet on Turn. And if I would check on the Turn after I had re-raised him on the Flop it would definitely open up the door for a steal buy my opponent.. And I would have a very hard time calling his Turn all-in bet. Anyway, what to do?

Re: 1/2 Party: Hit trips with medium kicker out of position..
Depends on your opponent...it seems to me he would have raised AJ/KJ in the cutoff to try to steal the button and get it headsup, but remember he could also be limping with a drawing hand like JT or 9J in late position.
Or, if you've noticed him playing LAG, he could very well be playing a weaker jack. A lot of people simply will not give their opponent credit for trips with a better kicker. I think it's pretty hard for you to get any more information from him by playing this differently, except by betting out on the turn. If he were semi-bluffing a flush draw he would probably lay it down on the turn. |

Re: 1/2 Party: Hit trips with medium kicker out of position..
Yes.. I agree it depends on the opponent.. Do he semi-bluff his draws? Steal the blinds when in the CO? and so on..
But I don't have any reads on him.. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] except by betting out on the turn. How much do you think I should bet out? $50? And if he comes over the top I would drop my hand? And what to do on the river if calls my Turn bet? Check? |

Re: 1/2 Party: Hit trips with medium kicker out of position..
given that the turn was checked through, I liked your river check to induce a bluff.
also you have the right idea about not playing a huge pot. I think most of the time I would bet the turn, he is going to have a hard time raising you and that might have helped him enough to pay you off. --turnipmonster |

He had A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
So I guess I was lucky not to lose more on the hand.. But still I don't feel comfortable how I played this hand. Next time I'm going to bet on the Turn and see what happens. Or perhaps go for a check raise on the flop instead off betting out like I did? |
