Chasing the trifecta

I think you should have gone for it. What's one extra bet compared to Holy Grail.

Had it crossed my mind on the river, I certainly would have checked. I was multitabling at the time, but realized just a moment too late that I may have made a mistake (I'm constantly reviewing hands in my head immediately after I play them to check my game).

On a sidenote, the fact that I didn't consider the 3rd check-raise until after I had bet gives you just a tiny glimpse into why multitabling lowers your (my) winrate.

good luck.

e-

since he 3 bets the flop, it ruins the trifecta. you need to close the action on each street, not him.

you might have made more with a donk bet/3 bet on the turn as well, depending on the opponent, but with your line you lose less to a set if you can read your opponent for that - i guess it depends on how aggro he is.

...and chasing trifectas just seems goofy to me.
