Is he more crusty or crazy looking? If he's crusty then I fold, if he's crazy then I call. A crusty old rock will have a FH.

Were Sean and Amir there doing their typical thing? That is, claiming to be at each other's throats and staging fights and taking it outside in big hands? I've heard they run this every few weeks to rattle up the table for the people that are newcomers, happened when I was playing...

unless this guy is really bad you have to call.
no semi-decent player plays a set or two pair this way with so many draw out there.
he doesn't put you on the straight and figures his trip kings are good.
come on guys enough with the weak-tight advice, its like everyone always has the nuts.
you have to remember that not everyone out there is a 2+2'er and a lot of people are willing to push some really marginal hands.
so as i said, only a really bad player would slowplay two pair or a set on this board.

I was honestly thinking the opposite.

Do you raise all-in on the river every time you figure you probably have the best hand? I simply call a good deal of the time when I think my hand is good.

What kind of player reraises all-in with trips here?

A lot of posts involve the "villain" flying all-in on the river. They DO have the nuts.


I look at it like this. Far from showing weakness, the fact that the villain has called flop and turn bets shows some strength. He is calling you. Then he reraises all-on the river. I could be wrong, but this looks like a strong hand to me, not someone who was calling down with mid-pair and now thinks trips is good.

Villain shows QJ too, he noticed your hesitation when the board pairs on the river and is betting to fold whatever you have which (he thinks) is obviously not a house.
