Yes I like a c/r on the turn and then bet the river. if you are 3 bet on turn i think a cap is in order, and then lead the river, but call a raise.

The reason I ask is it seems like I run into trips when I have trips alot... I thought the guy might have had trip jacks... I guess I was just playing scurred..

Is this a joke? I can understand why you dont raise the turn to trap people. But why oh way arent you raising the river????

Ughh...

You played one street correctly - preflop.

Bet, raise, repeat. Profit. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

On the flop why check/call? You either check with the intention of raising, or just bet hoping MP3 will raise. In this case, there's one player on each side of you between MP3, so I say go for the bet/3-bet line. (By that, I mean hopefully MP3 will raise your bet so you can 3-bet. If you check/raise, MP3 will probably just call.)

Once that's done, you just keep your mouse hovering over the bet/raise button.

Especially on a flop with 2 of a suit, you need to be betting. Any flush draw has the odds to continue, but you'll win unimproved much more often than their flush will come in.

Postflop, you only need one button this entire hand, and it's not the check/call button, and it's not the fold button. Putting MP3 on JJ is far, far too tight a range. He could have AA, AK, 99, KQ, or a whole lotta other crap since you didn't provide a read. There's nothing wrong with finding out you played a hand poorly, but play better next time. Also, respond to more threads that others post to help you find more leaks.
