$55- tough trips situation

Is there a better line? Should i fold on flop? Is this an EASY fold? No real reads... the play is so strange.

Not a terrible fold by any means, but i like 3 bet pushing the flop.

microbet · #6 10-25-2005, 10:36 PM

I agree with both parts. I still call, but don't think the fold is terrible, and I'd rather 3-bet push the flop.

The problem with 3 bet pushing the flop is that your opponent will only call with hands that beat you but not call you with a queen. The only hands better than you that fold are MAYBE j9 and j10.

Lots of times Q will call. People love to think you are bluffing. If he has a Jack most likely we're both getting our money in there. If he could have a very good draw here. Let him either overpay for it or fold and I'll just take the pot.

I don't think OPs line is too bad though, especially if he calls.

No, it's smart. Three-betting the flop is going to make him fold a lot of hands that you want calling, so you miss out on lots of value, such as those times he interprets your call as weakness and pushes the turn.
