I want everyone to berate me for this play - Page 2

In small stakes play a bet like this could be anything from a cold bluff through a semi-bluff (most likly in my experience) to top pair or whatever. With a stong hand like trips and not too many ways to be beaten I wouldn't think long about calling this.
It's unlikly villian has trip Ts or Qs as he would have rasied preflop.

I smell 98 here...ouch. Lead the flop, lead the turn, call his rr on the turn and pray the river pairs the board.

Yeah, I don't know why you didn't lead this flop. There were a ton of straight draws. I don't think that the turn call is that bad because there's still a reasonable chance you have the best hand, and you have redraws if you're behind.

This is one of those hands that I don't want to find out for 100BB's that villian limped 89 and hopes you will miss it and call with your TP. If he's bluffing, good for him, but I'd estimate you're behind here over 97% of the time. If villian had a history of massively over betting the pot, then considering a call here isn't bad. I'm suprised people are advocting a call honestly.

5 handed don't you raise this hand preflop?

I think villain can have QT/AQ type hands here alot of the time although i certainly would be betting into a board like this on the flop- hoping to get someone playing back at me.

The huge over bet on the turn can mean anything but i would lean towards a reluctant call and hope to fill up on the river.

I'm going to side with most everyone here. I think QQ, 10-10 must raise preflop, so you can't really put anyone on those. This all in bet just reeks of 8-9. With no one raising preflop and no one betting that flop, I'm going to make the same call 90% of the time.

Bet the flop. The hand plays much easier.

As is, I don't think it's a HORRIBLE call. But it's almost a 1:1 call. The pot is small before villain pushes so you may just wanna give this one to him and punch yourself in the balls and realize you should bet the flop next time.
