Re: 8/b - Trips on 5th st.
I'm not one to play split pairs often so I'd probably fold 3rd. I think this hand is a good example of the kind of dangerous situations you can get into.
I think the bet on 5th is fine. It's unlikely Seat 7 has a straight but he'll play it strong as the only one with a possible low at that point. 6th street is a real problem. I highly doubt you're losing anyone here with a reraise although he may have led out in order to have you face two bets. I suspect you're probably ahead of Seat 3 as it's unlikely he has trips or a flush with all those dead spades. Since he didn't 3-bet, you're probably ok here. I would raise the river, I think he might pay you off with a lot hands you beat. Nice catch. |

Re: 8/b - Trips on 5th st.
thanks for the insight .. i agree split baby pairs are dangerous, and the looser and weaker the competition, the less likely I am to play them .. but against average competition, I personally want to play the best of them (ace kicker is much better and fives as alan b. mentioned help deaden str8s) so that oppononents can't put me only on a low or a big buried pair
